Editorial Reviews
Two of the Wild West’s most notorious outlaws were effectively whitewashed in this lighthearted romp, a box-office champion and multiple Oscar winner that marked the first teaming of superstars Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Newman stars as Butch, the quick-witted leader of Old Wyoming’s Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, while Redford portrays the Sundance Kid, a fast-draw artist who serves as Cassidy’s right-hand man but also rivals him for the affections of comely Katharine Ross. Finally driven from Wyoming by indefatigable pursuers, the pair flee to Bolivia in an attempt to begin their crime careers anew. The most successful western ever made at the time of its 1969 theatrical release, this breezy star vehicle either avoided or mocked cowboy-movie clichés; it served up equal portions of romance, comedy, and adventure to savvy Vietnam-era audiences weary of hackneyed horse operas. (Additionally, the film introduced the decidedly nonwestern, Oscar-winning song, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.") William Goldman’s clever screenplay teems with snappy dialogue, and the direction by George Roy Hill (who later reunited with the star duo to make The Sting) maintains a lively pace. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid wasn’t the first revisionist western, but it was in the forefront of what became a systematic, irreverent, and highly entertaining deconstruction of cinema’s most venerable genre. The DVD Special Edition features a 45-minute documentary on the film's making, plus commentary by director Hill and cinematographer Conrad Hall, interviews with other members of the cast and production team, and the original theatrical trailer.
