An excellent film but sadly it loses some of it's sweep and grandeur if not seen on a screen big enough to give the stunning visuals their due. If location could be a character of it's own, this is the film for it.
Fun fact: Paul Newman as the established actor was cast as Sundance and Redford and the newcomer was cast as Butch Cassidy. However after meeting and getting to know each other, the two actors opted to switch roles. Newman and Redford started a lifelong friendship after making this movie. Their friendship on camera is just as real off camera. Best chemistry in film history.

Paul Newman was one of the three most anticipated actors of the '50s, along with James Dean and Marlon Brando. Not only a great stage and screen actor, but a great director, producer and drama teacher. Also among the world's best auto racers and philanthropists right up until his death. His salad dressings and other products continue to fund youth charities. His films were box office gold. He and wife Joanne Woodward were each Oscar winners. The best of the best. Check out Hombre and Torn Curtain.
It's basically a true story, so you can't really avoid the ending. It's nice that they filmed the ending with an old school rule... never show your heros die.

these days i'm sure there's a writer out there coming up with a sequel movie. lol
"Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" was the first time Robert Redford and Paul Newman were paired on screen. "The Sting" was the second time. Both were among the hit movies of the year they were released. And yes, this movie is where Mr. Redford got the name for his film festival. The big guy in the knife fight was played by, oddly, Ted Cassidy, who is more famous for being the butler Lurch on the 60's TV show "The Addams Family", and Sundance's girlfriend was Katherine Ross, in her most memorable film role. It is possible that, in reality, Butch and Sundance did return to the USA, family members swear to it, and there is some evidence to support it. Of course, there is also supposedly proof they died in South America, if you ask around.

The Greatest Buddy Film Ever. The first of the 2 films starring Paul & Robert showcased their skills and chemistry to the hilt. Indeed 'the bad guys' are pretty much outlaw anti-heroes and in 1969 it was a phenomenon particularly with the Oscar-winning song RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD sung by BJ Thomas and written by Burt Bacharach (who both recently passed away). Katherine Ross was fresh from her other iconic film THE GRADUATE. The duo became fast friends for life and were collaborating on a third project but Paul passed away so sadly only 2 great films together (but what films!) Indeed Sundance Film Festival created by Redford is named after his character (BTW originally Paul was going to play that role w/Steve McQueen as Butch). Paul Newman is one of my fave actors and human beings of all-time - he was such a good natured and charming SOB that EVERYONE loved. His Hole-In-The-Wall charity (yep named after the film's gang) was created to raise $ for charity for underprivileged and disenfranchised children for a summer camp which still continues to this day thru his foundation business venture Newman's Own - i.e. salad dressings, lemonade and yes Cass - POPCORN! - whose non- profit organization turns over 100% of its earnings to the charities. Unheard of. A biography on Newman came out earlier this year that you so should read Cass - he led a truly amazing life and he was very down to Earth. And yes Redford is still alive and making films.

This friendship even piled over onto Newnan's obsession with cars and racing. Redford said at the time, "Paul drove me crazy talking about racing all of the time... It just bored me to tears... So I went to a junkyard and said, 'Do you have a destroyed sports car and can you wrap it up, put a ribbon around it and leave it at Newman's house?'" The delivery went as planned, but Newman found a novel way to turn the pile of junk into a masterpiece - and had the smashed up car turned into a garden sculpture, much to Redford's distaste. He adds, "It was really awful."

Butch's real name was Robert Leroy Parker, and Sundance's was Harry Longbaugh. Robert Redford was originally supposed to play Butch but suggested a character switch. There are stories that Butch and Sundance left Bolivia and returned to the States.
This movie was a huge success for Redford, Newman and its director George Roy Hill. They teamed up together again a couple of years later to film The Sting. Butch and Sundance allowed Redford to become a sort of mega star and start asking for much more money. It also gave him the freedom to become a producer and make the movies he wanted to make like Jeremiah Johnson. (Highly recommend, by the way). That's why when he bought a ranch in Utah he called it the Sundance ranch. Later he started his own film festival to help young independant film makers get visibility. He called that the Sundance film festival.

The real Butch Cassidy was a real charmer. He was once hauled before a judge in I think it was Wyoming Territory, and they judge said "Butch I'll make you a deal. If you swear to quit robbing banks, I'll let you go." and Butch had the gall to say "Sorry, Judge, but I can't do that. But if you let me go, I promise I'll never rob another bank in Wyoming". And the judge said "OK" and let him go! Butch kept is promise, too.
William Goldman wrote this screenplay. He also wrote the book and the screenplay for The Princess Bride and Marathon Man. Other screenplays included Misery and All the Presidents Men and The Stepford Wives. Phenomenal writer. He won an Academy Award for the screenplay for this movie. Well earned.

3:30 I know I’m not on Patreon or anything, but I have to put in a word for “The Magnificent Seven.” It’s a fabulous flick and it’s got a boatload of talent running around in it, including Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, Eli Wallach (who you’ll remember from “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”), Robert Vaughn, and Steve McQueen (yes, the “Cooler King,” himself). 7:44 And this is what Lurch looks like in color. 9:44 The Marshall is Kenneth Mars, who’s probably more well known for his comic roles in Mel Brooks movies. He was the Inspector with the wooden arm and monocle in “Young Frankenstein,” and he was the playwright Franz Liebkind in “The Producers.” He was also the voice of King Triton in “The Little Mermaid.” 18:03 This is Jeff Corey. Fabulous character actor. He was the villain in the original “True Grit,” he’s in episodes of “Star Trek” (original series), “Night Court,” and “Babylon 5,” as well as dozens of other TV series in the 50s through the 90s. 19:44 To this day I wonder if J.K. Rowling misheard the name of “Lord Baltimore” the tracker…

There has yet to be a stronger screen chemistry any greater than Redford and Newman was then....They did remain close friends up until Newmans death. This was really the movie that put Redford on the Hollywood map as a leading man and heart throb. He went on to leverage that power to make some incredible films in the 70's (Jerimiah Johnson/All the Presidents Men/3 days of the Condor) and of course founded the Sundance Film institute giving Independent Film makers a voice in Hollywood. Also can't underestimate all the wonderful environmental causes he's supported over the years. We were lucky to have him....
I think, if anything, this movie is about the end of the Wild West. It's set in 1899, the turn of the century, and we hear it said by several characters in the movie that "their (Butch and Sundance) time is over." The railroad looms large in most westerns because the railroad means progress, i.e. an end to the "wild" west. This is such a bittersweet film. One of my all-time favorites.
Great review. As others have mentioned, Outlaw Josey Wales and Silverado are two great westerns with lighter make-you-smile moments throughout to balance out the more serious scenes.

Yay! Finally watching this! A true classic, and yes, you should watch the original Magnificent Seven too. Steve McQueen was originally cast to play Sundance but he quit because he couldn't get top billing. Paul Newman was already a big star by this point. Several other well known actors were considered before Newman's wife, Joanne Woodward, suggested an up and coming actor named Robert Redford. The studio initially said no, wanting a more established actor, but Woodward, Newman, and director George Roy Hill convinced them. The men tracking Butch and Sundance were from the Pinkerton agency, a detective agency who was known for never giving up and always getting their man. "For a moment there I thought we were in trouble."- one of the best last lines in a movie ever.

You can see that chemistry in their next movie together---The Sting. If I may make another Newman movie suggestion Cassie, you should try The Verdict. The man can act. Paul Newman passed in 2008, but he left behind a large body of work and some good performances, including the one you watched. Hey, Redford ain't bad either.

It's a shame they couldn't work a third time such as A Walk in the Woods.
I think your reaction is what a lot of us feel, and what we're meant to feel, at the end of this film. We love these two (three, really) so much, we want them to succeed even though we know what they're doing is wrong, and we really hurt when the ending comes, even though we knew it was coming and may even have been deserved. I think there's also the impression that Butch & Sundance aren't suited for any other way of life, and they occupy an era that is quickly fading, is essentially gone. For them to go out in a blaze of glory, charging madly out together, may have been the best thing for them. They end as a sepia snapshot of history, never aging, never finding disillusionment, never understanding what it is to become obsolete and useless. (For another film that tweaks this same heartstring, see "Robin and Marian." (1976))

Outlaws who don't know any other way of living if not by stealing, robbing and killing, in a quickly fading outlaw world that doesn't have room anymore for their ilk because the Modern Era was already around the corner. Essentially, it starts out as a tragedy right out of the gate and you already know it

Etta is played by Katheryn Ross. She is married to Sam Elliott who was in Tombstone. He plays Virgil Earp, the one with the longish grey hair and mustache. Yes Robert Redford is still alive, unfortunately Paul Newman is not. He died in 2008. I saw this at the drive-in when it came out. I was 11, my sister was 13 and my brother wss 6. The next day my mother could hear a commotion coming from my brothers room. He was jumping off of his top bunk and screaming oooohhhhh shiiiiitttt like them jumping off the cliff.

Hi Cassie, I was waiting for this one, and you didn't disappoint. Newman and Redford were one of the greatest duos in cinema history. Their only other collaboration was "The Sting", but what memorable movies they are. They each had great careers apart. Would be well worth your time to check out more of their films. You're correct, Newman has passed away, and Redford is still alive. The Sundance Film Festival is indeed named after Redford's character. I think the way the final scene was filmed was perfect. No one wanted to see such lovable, charming characters killed, even moreso two stars like Newman and Redford.
And, just FYI, this movie is where Paul Newman got the name for his camps, for disabled kids Hole in the Wall, and, as you discovered, Robert Redford got the name for his film festival. Originally, Steve McQueen was to play Butch and Paul Newman was to play Sundance. Luckily McQueen pulled out of the movie, and Newman worked hard to get Redford cast as the Kid. This movie was where Newman and Redford met and became life along friends till Newman past in 2008.

A few years back one of my sweet daughters ran in the NY Marathon and I accompanied her from Western Canada in the role of her support team. If your not a competitive runner a participant is required to raise a mininmum $5000 for charity. She chose the Hole in the Wall Gang Charity (Paul & Joanne Newman's) and with 100 other runners they raised over $1,000,000 for the cause. Many of the recipients, child cancer survivors, were there and thanked the runners and of course the Newmans for their great work. It was one of the best weekends of both my and my daughters life.

Many of the Gunn family, including my dad, granddad, great granddad, great great granddad, their wives, many of my aunts and uncles, two of my siblings and others are buried just to the right of the entrance to the Beaver cemetery (Mountainview Cemetery) because they were some of the first settlers in Beaver. I like to think that maybe my great great grandfather knew the Parker family and Butch as they lived in Beaver until Butch was 13 years old. I'll never get tired of watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for as long as I live, because of how much my dad loved this movie!
Comparing the posse chasing Butch and Sundance to the Central Park Rangers chasing Santa in Elf was pure genius! 😂
A great screenplay by William Goldman, who also wrote The Princess Bride, which explains the great humor. Great reaction!
When we heard "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" when we watched this movie at the theatre, we didn't think it belonged in a western either.
I had no idea about this but apparently, Sam Elliot -- Katherine Ross' husband since 1984 -- actually had a bit role in this film. He was "Card Player #2"
I saw this at a theater when it first came out in 1969. I loved it.
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was a great metaphor for the end of the Old West and the turn toward modernity. They were part of a bygone era.
When this movie came out in 1969, Paul Newman was an established actor. He'd already been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar four times. But this was a breakout role for Robert Redford. The movie he did just previous to this one, Barefoot in the Park, got him some notice, but Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid made him a star.

So true
At 11:30 . . . . This really had the gals in the audience going , when I saw this movie back in 1970 , When they thought that something was going to happen ! Then Katherine Ross said " I wish you would get here on time " Then the gals in the audience relaxed . ; - )
Great viewing. If you want a feel-good movie, watch "Havey," most underrated movie. Has Jimmy Stewart in it. You'll love it. Great message, too.
This movie made those of us who were teenagers when it came out into instant Katherine Ross fans. She and Sam Elliott have been married about 40 years - he was Virgil Earp in Tombstone. And I am sure Cassie will enjoy "Open Range" - one of my favorites of the newer movies. But still not my top favorite, as I always hold "The Searchers" in that spot.
The jump off the cliff is one of those PERFECT movie moments. You never forget it once you've seen it.

"Raindrops" was a big hit on AM radio when this movie came out. It is an odd choice for a Western but that scene is one that everyone remembers and I can't imagine this movie without it. Others are recommending favorite movies of Newman and Redford so I'll recommend my favorite Newman movie: The Secret War of Harry Frigg. Not his best movie, or even in the top ten, but it speaks to me.

@@JamesSimmonsBJ Newman said he did that "because an actor should work." Also, look for the guy jumping on the tailgate--actor in John Hughes 80s films! Another great Newman one is _WUSA._
I ran into Paul Newman - literally - at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I was going into the old IMS Media Center as he was coming out. The movie he made right before "Buch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was "Winning", in which he played a race car driver alongside his real-life wife, Joanne Woodward. While learning to drive a race car for "Winning", Newman found he had a talent for driving and became a successful amateur racer. He later became the owner of a championship racing team: Newman-Haas Racing. Among his drivers at NHR were Mario and Michael Andretti. If I could recommend one Newman movie and one Redford movie, the Newman movie would be "Slap Shot", one of the funniest sports movies ever made which despite being totally outrageous is very accurate portrayal of life in the minor leagues (hockey, in this case) in the 1970s. My favorite Redford movie (non-Newman/Redford category) is "All the President's Men" - an Oscar-winning look at the Watergate scandal and the reporters who brought it to light. One other actor in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" that I believe you have seen on the channel before is George Furth, who played Woodcock, the guy protecting the train for Mr. E.H. Harriman of the Union Pacific Railroad. Furth was one of the citizens of Rock Ridge in "Blazing Saddles".

I came close to Paul Newman once, at an off- Broadway show in NYC. He was a few rows ahead of me in the audience, and he fell asleep during the show. Everyone behind him noticed!😆 ~ All the Presidents Men is propaganda. Woodward was employed by the CIA, and had been a media assistant to General Haig at the Pentagon before he somehow got a job at the Post out of nowhere, and then Watergate "went down."
Rio Bravo is a western made for you. Three generations of stars, honour, outlaws, romance and a happy ending.
Brilliant foreshadowing when Etta says she's going back ahead of them. Earlier she told them she'd do anything except watch them die. In my heart the freeze frame lets them escape and live a life equivalent to Witness Protection.
All the Presidents Men is another good one with Redford. And he directed a great movie called Ordinary People, which won best director, best supporting actor and best the movie Oscar. Circa 1980.
The guy who challenges Butch to take over the gang in the first part of the movie played "Lurch" in the Addams Family.
Katherine Ross (“Etta”) also was the love interest for Dustin Hoffman in his breakout role in “The Graduate.”
This was once of my favorites movies. My father passed away recently but I do remember him taking me to see this movie when I was 9 years old. 😂
I highly recommend Jeremiah Johnson. One of the best western films and since you developed a crush on Robert Redford ❤️ He stars in it ✋🏻
Robert Redford in " The Electric Horseman" is an underated film. Jane Fonda and Willie Nelson are also in the movie.

The best western of all time! I was raised a good Mormon Boy just like Butch. i was 12 when this came out and I wasn't allowed to see it because in the trailer when they jumped of the cliff the swearing was bleeped out and I might be corrupted if i accutally heard the word. For a couple of years I had to make do with the Mad Magazine retelling called "Butch Catastrophe and the Stun-Dunced Kid". The drawing of Harvey just after Butch kicks him in the groin during the knife fight still makes me chuckle thinking about it. I've seen the movie 20 times + over the years and it's still enjoyable every time I see it.
It was the success of this film, along with the obvious and bankable chemistry between Redford & Newman that led to "The Sting"
One of my top ten movies. it's totally different than any western, especially for the time period, and it had humor and it left you a bit sad at the end.
With the cool Paul Newman and Robert Redford
This is one of my all time top ten movies. As a kid my mother worked in a cinema , saw this every day of its run. It was in the cinema for 6 weeks. Could have watched it everyday for six weeks more.
I was ten years old, and one warm, early afternoon in the summer of 1969, a friend's mother drove us to a theater that was showing this M-rated movie, the forerunner of the _R_ rating. At least in those days, they would turn away unaccompanied minors. Just before the movie started, she surprised us, saying she'd return later to pick us up. Coolest mother ever! This movie was a revelation in terms of what a movie could be. With the exception of the odd choice of the 'Raindrops' song, the rest of the music scoring was perfect - sad and haunting and melancholy. It made my heart ache for the loss of the Old West (well, at least the fiction of the Old West). Over the years it became evident how rare this movie really was. A combination of subject, music, writing, acting chemistry and perfect zeitgeist. All that, and the guilty pleasure of experiencing it without an adult was pretty heady stuff. Very good memories.
I don't watch many western movies. But I have always adored this one. I have seen it soooo many times!
It is a fun film to watch, Redford and Newman were a great acting pair. Glad you liked it. Also, to maybe make you feel better, the rumor was that Butch did make it back to Utah after the Bolivian shootout. His sister and the rest of the family swear he lived several years after getting back. So there might be a bit of a happy ending for you. Keep up the great reactions!!

Actually, there were rumors that both Butch and Sundance made it back to America. The idea was that there were other American outlaws committing robberies in Bolivia at the same time as Butch and Sundance were. And when 2 American outlaws were killed in the fight (portrayed at the end of the movie), it was just automatically assumed (perhaps mistakenly) it was Butch and Sundance since they were the best-known American outlaws in Bolivia. The official and historically accepted story is that it was Butch and Sundance who got killed. But there have always been rumors that both Buch and Sundance returned to America after the Bolivian shootout. And there were members of Butch Cassidy's family who claimed that Butch Cassidy returned to America after the shootout took place. It is not implausible that it was 2 other American outlaws who died in that shootout, and that Butch and Sundance returned to America, but nobody knows for sure, so the official story has always been it was Butch and Sundance who were killed.

I saw a documentary about someone wanting to exhume the bodies from the graves that are allegedly Butch and Sundance, but it is forbidden by local law, so no DNA or other forensic tests can be done. The In Search Of TV show made a very compelling argument in favor of Butch Cassidy surviving to around the 1930s. Some claim it was an imposter, but all surving relatives verified it wasn't. Supposedly he was buried in Washington and the exact grave location remains a secret. Of all the outlaws that were allegedly to have survived passed the date history records them as officially dead, I give Butch the greatest chace followed by Sundance. The Jesse James hoax was just that, the guy that surfaced in Lawton, OK was a fraud. The only thing about Jesse was the official death photo doesn't match with prior photos. If Jesse did survive, why did he abandon his wife and kids? They had a very rough life afterward. The even bigger mystery is Etta Place completely disappeared from history after Bolivia.

Hey Cassie... - This screenplay won the Best Screenplay Oscar, and the winner was William Goldman. He would later write the novel and the screenplay of 'The Princess Bride' and win a second Oscar for 'All The President's Men..." starring Redford and Dustin Hoffman as the real-life journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and their coverage of the Watergate scandal that ended the Nixon Presidency. - Katherine Ross (Etta) was a very hot star at the time she made this, having just been in 'The Graduate' with Dustin Hoffman. She basically retired from acting, but her husband is a working character actor with an amazing mustache...she's married to Sam Elliott! - The Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival were both named by Redford because of this role. Seeing you make the connection was PRICELESS!!!! - The Hole In The Wall Gang has a new meaning today, as the name is now that of an organization that helps disabled and ill children to have summer camp experiences in camps all over, funded by the Newman's Own food products line that uses 100% of all after-tax profits for the food products for the camps and many other philanthropic and educational endeavors that were close to the hearts of both Paul Newman and his equally amazing wife and legendary actress Joanne Woodward. Paul sadly passed in 2008. Joanne is still alive but has Alzheimer's, which was diagnosed in 2007. The Newman's Own line has generated over $550 million since 1982. A wonderful documentary about them called 'The Last Movie Stars' on HBOMax was directed by Ethan Hawke.
GREAT MOVIE! Newman's done a lot of great movies but I think another of his great ones is, Cool Hand Luke.
An absolute classic. One of the best movies ever.
Another great reaction, Cassie. One of my Pop's favorite flicks, released the year I was born. My pop used to sing " Raindrops keep falling on my head" as a kid, so it means a lot when I hear it.
