Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid [Blu-ray] [1969]

If you haven’t seen this film you should watch it. Timeless classic western.

Great film

Three more attractive and charismatic actors and their characters it would be hard to find than Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Catherine Ross as The Sundance Kid, Butch Cassidy and Etta Place. I’d not seen this film for a while, but remembered most of it pretty well, but had forgotten a few things. I remembered the music but had forgotten just how good the music is and especially the music used in the Bolivian section - I can hear it now ba ba ba ba ba da ba da etc! I’d forgotten how well the coupling of Redford and Newman worked and I now also realised that I’ forgotten how good Hollywood used to be.This iconic Western and true story doesn’t take place in what is considered (by some) to be the “Wild West Era” (ie 1865 1895), but in the early part of the Twentieth Century. This true story takes place when my Grandparents were alive and for me that makes this incredible film more real, more tangible somehow.I watched the film on a DVD that came with some insightful and interesting Extra Features.On that DVD (ASIN: B00005KK3J) you get:“Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid” (1 hour 45 minutes)Chapter SelectionOption English Subtitles for the hard of hearing.Audio is 2.0 MonoSpecial Features:Commentary from Director George Roy Hill, Lyricist Hal david, Associate Producer Robert Crawford and Cinematographer Conrad Hall.1994 Interviews with Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katherine Ross, scriptwriter William Goldman and composer Burt Bacharach (about 48 minutes in total) and also including “Some of what follows is true” and “All of what follows is true”“Making Of” Documentary (40 minutes)

This is a classic. Starting with a superb script that is whip smart and full of humour. The menace of the never quite fully seen posse is fantastic. It still looks great in a way that some films from the era don’t (Yes, I’m looking at you Soldier Blue and The Sting). It even makes a decent fist of the actual history. But, ever since I first saw this the two songs have arrived, stopped the pace stone dead and placed the film into horribly dated for the duration. They are great songs, but they do not belong in this movie. It is still a not to be missed classic though.

Just love these two.

One of my favs

Have seen the film several times but needed something light to watch the other night. Butch and Sundance is a great film full of humour!

I bought this as a present for my mother, as she is a Robert Redford fan. An enjoyable film, from the time when Hollywood could still make film worth watching.

Great movie is a classic

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid é um filme americano de 1969 dirigido por George Roy Hill e escrito por William Goldman. Baseado vagamente em fatos, o filme conta a história dos bandidos do Velho Oeste Robert LeRoy Parker, conhecido como Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), e seu parceiro Harry Longabaugh, o "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford), que estão fugindo de um grupo de crack dos EUA após uma série de assaltos de trem. A dupla e a amante de Sundance, Etta Place (Katharine Ross), fogem para a Bolívia para escapar do pelotão.

Perfect as always.
