I LOVE my Factor boxes... Every two weeks, I have lunches all done! 2 mins in the Microwave, and a healthy, yummy lunch I don't have to prep. Yes, I am ADvocating for this! I love it!
If you're a Robert Redford fan and you need another good western let me recommend JEREMIAH JOHNSON (1972), if you need a good espionage thriller let me recommend THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (1975). Both are great.
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.
Yes, not only is the Sundance Film Festival named after Robert Redford's character from this movie, most of the movie was also filmed in Utah! Fun fact, the real life Butch Cassidy was born and raised in Utah and was a from a Mormon family. There's another great Western starring Redford that was also filmed in Utah called Jeremiah Johnson.
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.
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."
Great read, thanks! I watched this movie when it first came out with my dad. I was 8 and I remember sitting there with my dad and the scene came on with Sundance holding his girlfriend at gunpoint to take her clothes off, it was odd watching that scene with my dad. Lol...... This is my favorite western then Tombstone.
Second greatest buddy film ever. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine takes first place for me. Its about two British soldiers back in the days of the Empire who establish themselves as rules as a remote kingdom to the north of India.
Redford made the film “All is Lost” a few years ago. Brilliant little film about a man in a sinking sailing-boat lost at sea and his struggles to survive. Bloody amazing film actually now that I think about it. I need to rewatch it soon. Cheers 🍺
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.
"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.
Yeah, there's a writer named Walter Bosley who's done a bunch of research on it. He claims Butch was a secret agent or something. I have no idea if he's right, but it makes for a great story.
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.
Writer Wiliam Goldman pretty much single-handedly created the modern buddy movie with this one. It's truly a landmark screenplay and birthed hundreds of wannabes copycats. And Newman and Redford knocked it out of the park with their easy comfy chemistry. This is a yearly re-watch for me.
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.
I absolutely love how Cassie has to make a happy ending for every film she watches in her head, and it's always a gift when she shares it! Great reaction!
This movie has sentimental value for me. I grew up watching it with my Dad. It was our favorite movie to watch together. We’d always quote it: “Who are those guys?”
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…
So glad you are enjoying the classics!!! When you grew up watching these kind of movies, it’s sad to see how far and few comparable movies they make these days. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are great together. Too bad Carly didn’t watch it with you. Keep up the good work!!!
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 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.
Wish I had 100 more thumbs up for this suggestion!!! I only hope Cassie sees it. I've been trying for months to get her to travel down the Clint Eastwood road.
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.
"Silverado" (1985) with Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn, and Linda Hunt was the entertaining, popular western of its year. But to catch the handsome Paul Newman in a movie with a happier ending than your film today, try the great master Alfred Hitchcock's 1966 spy drama (with Julie Andrews) "Torn Curtain".
My Dad introduced me to the Trinity films back in the good old Betamax days.....he made a kid obsessed with Star Wars and Indiana Jones into a movie lover
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.
When we were kids, my dad made us watch this, and my brother and I groaned when it started in black and white. Now that's probably my favorite part of the whole movie!
I would catch snippets of this as a kid, but only saw it start to finish for the first time in my last month of high school, and I quite enjoyed it. My favorite part is when Sundance admits to being unable to swim, particularly the sheepish nod he does that says, “So there’s that.” followed by Butch howling with laughter after what he just heard registers.
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.
The Happy ending is that they thought they are going to get away. We the audience know that their going to die , but the fact that they still have a plan for their next adventure lets you know that they never truly surrendered to the thought of being captured or killed. That and it's truly a story about best friends through thick and thin of their outlaw life.
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. That's the night we were driving through downtown Atlanta and my brother decided to see what would happen and yelled duck he's got a gun. My dad almost ran us into a telephone pole. 😂
"Who are those guys?" was the famous phrase of the day. We used it in business meetings when competitors showed up in market. Lots of fun watching them escape Lord Baltimore and the posse. Newman and Redford were box office gold. RIP Paul.
I was 9 when this movie came out. I watched it with my dad, who was a big Paul Newman fan. Redford and Newman had great chemistry for it being the first movie they acted in together. 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. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful reactions.
Love this movie. This really cemented my "type", at age 13, with Redford's look in this movie, and similar from Lee Majors and others. These were real people, Sundance was handsome, Etta probably not her real name, and lots of debate to this day about the fate of all three. Highly recommend Jeremiah Johnson, and a very old Western My Darling Clementine.
I usually have nothing be praise for your editors. But this time, they cut out a couple of key lines. First was Butch's line about "The fall'll probably kill ya." The second was Sundance's line about the Bolivian train station being the glitziest spot in the entire country. "For all we know, people come from miles away, to see this place."
🎵dab ... badab... badab... badadadadaaaa badabadaaba dabada dabadaaa daa daa daaa 🎵 ruclips.net/video/A9eF9FkpJWA/видео.html (Maybe not to everyone's liking, but such a vocal masterpiece I had to include it)
These 2 make these outlaws look good and likeable as characters, proving criminals may have complex characteristics. No way out, they go out guns blazing. As an earlier character said, as outlaws, you can choose the place you die.
Love your reactions! That "strip at gunpoint" scene held a very special place in my heart and made my 12 year old self fall head over heels in love with Katharine Ross. ❤🥰😍
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.
It’s an obscure line as you’ll ever find but I love Butch telling Flatnose, (who was “really rooting for him” in the knife fight) “Well, thank you Flatnose. That’s what sustained me in my time of trouble.”
Paul Newman and Robert Redford both said that this was the most fun movie they ever made, mainly because they spent so much time drinking and partying in Mexico between shooting, it felt more like a vacation than a movie shoot.
They would love it. The female leads storyline when it's revealed what happened to her and letting herself be redeemed always makes me tear-up. Plus it is the only Western that has Rifle be a main character. Which created a yearly shooting contest.
I'm no t patreon but suggested this quite some time ago. Has alot of ties to Utah. Open Range was filmed in Canada. This is my favorite western came out when I was in Junior High .Road the train in in Durango when I was in high school. One of the great buddy movies. It was a true story.
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.
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 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))
That's what I always thought, I agree. It is the same trope used in another Western piece of fiction, albeit a videogame, "Red Dead Redemption 2". 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
@@deaconstjohn4842 You also just described The Wild Bunch which came out in the same year as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid but with less humor and more violence.
Katherine Ross (Etta) has been married to Sam Elliot for about 35 years now. : ) And yes, the Sundance film festival got it's name due to Robert Redford's character, Sundance, in this movie.
"Was it true?" Answer: Yes, the were one of the last of the old west outlaws, primarily due to the changing of security of the money. That part where Butch was talking about how everything's harder now, meaning robbery, was very true. Banks started putting bars on windows, stronger locks, and tougher safes. The train was becoming more secured also, although I don't think there was a time where money was blasted out of the safe, in real life. So it's a good thing the show begins with, 'mostly what you see is true'. Also, the Bolivian guard. Most calvary has as little as 60 men to 100men in those days. So when the movie maker, who was looking for his next story, researched Cowboys that got gunned down and found the Butch Cassidy and Sundance duo that got shot down by a 100 Bolivian calvary men. At first he thought it might've been an exaggeration, but it turns out that was true. So, he delved into it and gradually put this story together. Hope this helps. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
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.
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.
I wish you'd watch 'Rob Roy', Cassie - I can virtually guarantee it would end up being a top 10 movie for you. Think Braveheart with a better love story, and better 'bad guy' with Tim Roth playing one of the greatest villain roles of all time!
@@RideAcrossTheRiver All incredible films. It made me sad at the beginning of the video when Cassie called Robert Redford "Brad Pitt lookalike", because he's such an great actor AND director... so much more than being an attractive (YMMV) blonde.
@@Diamond_Skies I bet Redford got cast as Sundance because of his fugitive's role in _The Chase._ And then there are _Jeremiah Johnson_ and _The Candidate_ and _The Great Waldo Pepper._ The guy has never not been working.
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.
Butch and Sundance never died there.They escaped,Sundance went to New York, and Sundance went somewhere in the northwest. According to his sister Sundance told his sister not to tell anyone that he was alive.He didn't want anyone finding his grave after he finally did die,according to his sister,LOOK IT UP!
Cassie, since you liked Tombstone, you should check these two movies featuring Wyatt Earp; Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) and Hour of the Gun (1967). I personally find Hour of the Gun really underrated.
Cassie > The leading lady is Katharine Ross. Which brings up a movie suggestion that I'm sure you'll really love that she's in >> it has mystery-suspense-adventure-and romance: The Final Countdown (1980). Kirk Douglas (Michael Douglas' father) and a very young Martin Sheen (the good guy in the Departed) and James Farentino .
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.
@@SirHilaryManfat How is correcting a spelling error, and explaining why a specific spelling isn't used "undermining" the the original post? It doesn't. It has nothing to do with what "tud1366" wrote other than the spelling. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You definitely need to watch Open Range. It's an amazing movie. Since baseball season is underway I think you should watch For Love of the Game, it's my favorite Kevin Costner baseball movie.
"For Love of the Game" is a fantastic baseball movie but to put it in the same class as 'Bull Durham" or "Field of Dreams" (much less put it above those two), hmmmmmm...ahhhhhhh...no. Just no. 🤣
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.
I loved watching this with you, Cassie. This is such a good movie. It actually was a simple movie with no special effects and Newman and Redford made this movie, they are great together. I wis they didi more together. I love your ideas for the ending :) As always this was beautifully edited. P.S I hate the green ones too, the white are my fav. :)
Cassie, I just want to say that I hope there is some time in every day that someone tells you just how beautiful you are.

The moment Cassie finally connects Redford as Sundance with the Sundance film festival in Utah is priceless!
That was pretty great in its genuineness. Click click click.
I can't wait for her to look at her salad dressing bottle!
When did that happen? I must have missed it at some point.
@@wanderinroy Slightly past the 11 minute mark.
My new favorite Cassie moment. 😂
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.
Lemon and Matthau were pretty synergetic too, probably deserve to be in that debate. But yeah, Newman and Redford together were cash money.
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.
Absolutely. Their chemistry is perfect. This movie, along with "The Sting" , are great "buddy movies" as well because of that chemistry.
Yes, not only is the Sundance Film Festival named after Robert Redford's character from this movie, most of the movie was also filmed in Utah! Fun fact, the real life Butch Cassidy was born and raised in Utah and was a from a Mormon family.
There's another great Western starring Redford that was also filmed in Utah called Jeremiah Johnson.
She would love the hell outta Jeremiah Johnson. Been trying to suggest that movie for over a year now.
Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorite movies ever
Jeremiah Johnson may be the best Western ever made. I also love The Outlaw Josie Wales, Open Range, and Silverado.
Jeremiah Johnson, in my opinion, was Robert Redford's best ever movie. Would love Cassie to watch this classic. A true Popcorn in Bed film to watch!
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.
Best movie ever. Not a misplaced word or action in the whole thing. Newman and Redford had enough charisma and chemistry for 10 movies.
"The Sting" wasn't half bad ! Also co-starred Robert Shaw (Lonnegan).
And not one F word ..
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."
Great read, thanks! I watched this movie when it first came out with my dad. I was 8 and I remember sitting there with my dad and the scene came on with Sundance holding his girlfriend at gunpoint to take her clothes off, it was odd watching that scene with my dad. Lol...... This is my favorite western then Tombstone.
Second greatest buddy film ever. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine takes first place for me. Its about two British soldiers back in the days of the Empire who establish themselves as rules as a remote kingdom to the north of India.
Redford made the film “All is Lost” a few years ago. Brilliant little film about a man in a sinking sailing-boat lost at sea and his struggles to survive. Bloody amazing film actually now that I think about it. I need to rewatch it soon.
Cheers 🍺

This one is on my shortlist for favorite movies. Best buddy duo ever, and Paul Newman is at his best.
Yes. However, Paul Newman is at his best in about a dozen movies. Talk about consistancy at a high level of performance.
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.
I've heard that Butch did. Never heard that Sundance did.
Yeah, there's a writer named Walter Bosley who's done a bunch of research on it. He claims Butch was a secret agent or something. I have no idea if he's right, but it makes for a great story.
I would say The Graduate was the movie Katherine Ross was best known for and I'm sure Cassie would love it.Another classic like this.
@@pflynn581 She might like the Stepford wives too.
@@pflynn581 I was just about to say that about Ross. You beat me to it.
The great Burt Bacharach who wrote 'Raindrops..' passed away in Feburary at the age of 94, he won two Oscars for the music in this film.
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.
Writer Wiliam Goldman pretty much single-handedly created the modern buddy movie with this one. It's truly a landmark screenplay and birthed hundreds of wannabes copycats. And Newman and Redford knocked it out of the park with their easy comfy chemistry. This is a yearly re-watch for me.
And then he went off and wrote "The Princess Bride."
Wiliam Goldman's first book, The Temple of Gold, is a gem.
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.

I absolutely love how Cassie has to make a happy ending for every film she watches in her head, and it's always a gift when she shares it! Great reaction!
If they only had a Dollar Store!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This movie has sentimental value for me. I grew up watching it with my Dad. It was our favorite movie to watch together. We’d always quote it: “Who are those guys?”
With Popcorn in Bed, change it to 'Who are those gals?'
Katherine Ross (“Etta”) also was the love interest for Dustin Hoffman in his breakout role in “The Graduate.”
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…
One thing you forgot about The Magnificent Seven is the best western film score ever composed.
*"This is Jeff Corey..."*
He was also Wild Bill Hickock in another western Cassie should watch, Little Big Man.
Make sure it's the 1960 The Magnificent Seven. (And Charles Bronson "The Tunnel King" and James Coburn "The Manufacturer ".)
@@THOMMGB Maybe the best film score period!
Talking of the Magnificent Seven, the film it was asked on Seven Samurai, is absolutely brilliant
So glad you are enjoying the classics!!! When you grew up watching these kind of movies, it’s sad to see how far and few comparable movies they make these days. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are great together. Too bad Carly didn’t watch it with you. Keep up the good work!!!
I was wondering if Cassie would come back for a Newman, Redford pairing. She will absolutely love this!
Did they do anymore besides this and Sting? I can't remember
@@yaimavol I believe that they only did the 2 films together, I may be wrong though.
@@e.d.2096 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Classe_am%C3%A9ricaine
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 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.
Wish I had 100 more thumbs up for this suggestion!!! I only hope Cassie sees it. I've been trying for months to get her to travel down the Clint Eastwood road.
Yes!!! Silverado! Great western.
For a make-you-smile-western you can't go wrong with Terence Hill
"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.
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.
"Silverado" (1985) with Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn, and Linda Hunt was the entertaining, popular western of its year.
But to catch the handsome Paul Newman in a movie with a happier ending than your film today, try the great master Alfred Hitchcock's 1966 spy drama (with Julie Andrews) "Torn Curtain".
"They Call Me Nobody" (1973) is a western very much like this-a combination of humor/drama and fun.
Oh man Terence Hill. I recently saw him again when I discovered Don Matteo. Holy moley, that show's been running since 2000!
My Dad introduced me to the Trinity films back in the good old Betamax days.....he made a kid obsessed with Star Wars and Indiana Jones into a movie lover
If you enjoy Paul Newman, you really need to see him in the movie Cool Hand Luke. It is an awesome performance.
What we have here is failure to communicate
I think Cassie saw "Serendipity." too
Sara : Okay. Favorite movie.
Jonathan : The correct answer is Cool Hand Luke.
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.
Still one of the BEST Westerns ever made, not to mention the complete TALENT on display both behind the camera and in front of it.
When we were kids, my dad made us watch this, and my brother and I groaned when it started in black and white. Now that's probably my favorite part of the whole movie!
The people chasing Butch and Sundance were members of the Pinkerton Detective Agency which still exists today
Dashiel Hammet (who wrote Maltese Falcon) worked for Pinkerton in San Francisco ☮️
I would catch snippets of this as a kid, but only saw it start to finish for the first time in my last month of high school, and I quite enjoyed it. My favorite part is when Sundance admits to being unable to swim, particularly the sheepish nod he does that says, “So there’s that.” followed by Butch howling with laughter after what he just heard registers.
Always thought country people were born knowing how to swim for some reason.
@@ct6852Sundance came from Atlanicc City, in the East. He tells us that...
"They need a disguise, but they don't have a dollar store." Oh, Cassie you KILL me!
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.
Wiliam Goldman's first book, The Temple of Gold, is a almost forgotten gem. We read it in high school in the 70s.
Fun fact: In an interview, William Goldman said the cliff that Butch and Sundance leap from is actually the Cliffs of Insanity (in his mind).
The Happy ending is that they thought they are going to get away. We the audience know that their going to die , but the fact that they still have a plan for their next adventure lets you know that they never truly surrendered to the thought of being captured or killed. That and it's truly a story about best friends through thick and thin of their outlaw life.
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. That's the night we were driving through downtown Atlanta and my brother decided to see what would happen and yelled duck he's got a gun. My dad almost ran us into a telephone pole. 😂
"Who are those guys?" was the famous phrase of the day. We used it in business meetings when competitors showed up in market. Lots of fun watching them escape Lord Baltimore and the posse. Newman and Redford were box office gold. RIP Paul.
With the cool Paul Newman and Robert Redford
I was 9 when this movie came out. I watched it with my dad, who was a big Paul Newman fan. Redford and Newman had great chemistry for it being the first movie they acted in together. 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. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful reactions.
It's a shame they couldn't work a third time such as A Walk in the Woods.
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.
Thank you! My favorite Robert Redford movie is Three Days of the Condor
The 1960s-1970s started a trend of “bad guys are good guys” movies - among many were this one, Bonnie & Clyde and The Sting.
Oh, I don't think _Bonnie & Clyde_ was portrayed that way.
Charley Varrick. No-one ever reacts to Charley Varrick. 😞
The Godfather movies were part of that trend.
Yes thanks - missed mentioning that.
They were called "Anti-Heroes".
Love this movie. This really cemented my "type", at age 13, with Redford's look in this movie, and similar from Lee Majors and others. These were real people, Sundance was handsome, Etta probably not her real name, and lots of debate to this day about the fate of all three. Highly recommend Jeremiah Johnson, and a very old Western My Darling Clementine.
I’m so jealous and happy that you are discovering Redford and Newman. They’re real life friendship is beautiful.
Newman was a true pure soul.
I usually have nothing be praise for your editors. But this time, they cut out a couple of key lines. First was Butch's line about "The fall'll probably kill ya." The second was Sundance's line about the Bolivian train station being the glitziest spot in the entire country. "For all we know, people come from miles away, to see this place."

(Maybe not to everyone's liking, but such a vocal masterpiece I had to include it)
These 2 make these outlaws look good and likeable as characters, proving criminals may have complex characteristics. No way out, they go out guns blazing. As an earlier character said, as outlaws, you can choose the place you die.
I highly recommend Jeremiah Johnson. One of the best western films and since you developed a crush on Robert Redford ❤️ He stars in it ✋🏻
Love your reactions! That "strip at gunpoint" scene held a very special place in my heart and made my 12 year old self fall head over heels in love with Katharine Ross. ❤🥰😍
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.
It’s an obscure line as you’ll ever find but I love Butch telling Flatnose, (who was “really rooting for him” in the knife fight) “Well, thank you Flatnose. That’s what sustained me in my time of trouble.”
Two of the most beautiful men ever to grace the screen ❤
Paul Newman and Robert Redford both said that this was the most fun movie they ever made, mainly because they spent so much time drinking and partying in Mexico between shooting, it felt more like a vacation than a movie shoot.
They bonded so well
Some of it was shot in Mexico, but most was in Utah. Etta's house was in the ghost town of Grafton, just outside Zion National Park.
Another great western ' Quigley Down Under ' Cassie and Carly would LOVE IT!
They would love it. The female leads storyline when it's revealed what happened to her and letting herself be redeemed always makes me tear-up. Plus it is the only Western that has Rifle be a main character. Which created a yearly shooting contest.
@@reesebn38 Thanks for the reply, but it wasn't mentioned in the polls, so I'm not going to hold my breath of it ever being considered
@@e.d.2096 It was in the poll just ranked low.
This was the World's Greatest "First-Date" Movie of its day. And beyond
I have no doubt this will be one of your favorites Cassie
Can't wait to see your reactions! 😂😢😮
"Nobody is going to rob us going DOWN the mountain".
GREAT MOVIE! Newman's done a lot of great movies but I think another of his great ones is, Cool Hand Luke.
I'm no
t patreon but suggested this quite some time ago. Has alot of ties to Utah. Open Range was filmed in Canada. This is my favorite western came out when I was in Junior High .Road the train in in Durango when I was in high school. One of the great buddy movies. It was a true story.
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.
Another fun western that you'd love is Silverado. Great cast, great music, amazing cinematography. A must watch western.
Love this classic film
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....
My parents took me to see this when it came out. One of the great westerns.
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))
That's what I always thought, I agree. It is the same trope used in another Western piece of fiction, albeit a videogame, "Red Dead Redemption 2". 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
@@deaconstjohn4842 You also just described The Wild Bunch which came out in the same year as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid but with less humor and more violence.
This movie is best viewed as a long, beautiful sunset.
Katherine Ross (Etta) has been married to Sam Elliot for about 35 years now. : )
And yes, the Sundance film festival got it's name due to Robert Redford's character, Sundance, in this movie.
Since your watching old westerns with Robert Redford may I suggest Jeremiah Johnson. It's one of my favorite westerns.
Most sponsor advertisements are necessary evils, but that one was hysterical! Well done, -Cassie- Sweetface! 🤣
"Was it true?"
Answer: Yes, the were one of the last of the old west outlaws, primarily due to the changing of security of the money. That part where Butch was talking about how everything's harder now, meaning robbery, was very true. Banks started putting bars on windows, stronger locks, and tougher safes. The train was becoming more secured also, although I don't think there was a time where money was blasted out of the safe, in real life. So it's a good thing the show begins with, 'mostly what you see is true'.
Also, the Bolivian guard. Most calvary has as little as 60 men to 100men in those days. So when the movie maker, who was looking for his next story, researched Cowboys that got gunned down and found the Butch Cassidy and Sundance duo that got shot down by a 100 Bolivian calvary men. At first he thought it might've been an exaggeration, but it turns out that was true. So, he delved into it and gradually put this story together.
Hope this helps. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
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.
You really should watch Jeremiah Johnson with Redford as lead. A realistic look at the west. Very moving.
I hope you still watch 3:10 to Yuma!! 🤞🏾
Yes!! Assume you’re talking about the excellent remake from 2007 with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, not the original. Two very different movies.
"The SWAT of the horse police." That one had me rolling that is funny Cassie.
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.
I wish you'd watch 'Rob Roy', Cassie - I can virtually guarantee it would end up being a top 10 movie for you. Think Braveheart with a better love story, and better 'bad guy' with Tim Roth playing one of the greatest villain roles of all time!
Robert Redford in " The Electric Horseman" is an underated film. Jane Fonda and Willie Nelson are also in the movie.
_Downhill Racer, Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men, Brubaker_
I love that movie!
@@RideAcrossTheRiver All incredible films. It made me sad at the beginning of the video when Cassie called Robert Redford "Brad Pitt lookalike", because he's such an great actor AND director... so much more than being an attractive (YMMV) blonde.
@@Diamond_Skies I bet Redford got cast as Sundance because of his fugitive's role in _The Chase._ And then there are _Jeremiah Johnson_ and _The Candidate_ and _The Great Waldo Pepper._ The guy has never not been working.
Since you’re into westerns now, you HAVE to check out Jeremiah Johnson.
I love this movie, can't wait Cassie. Good pick! "The only rule is there are no rules"!!
Harvey is Lurch..
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.
One of my dads favourite films which I watched so much as a kid, I had forgotten just how good it was.
Ironically, Jaws falls in love with a girl wearing braces in the film Moonraker.
I saw this at a theater when it first came out in 1969. I loved it.
Butch and Sundance never died there.They escaped,Sundance went to New York, and Sundance went somewhere in the northwest. According to his sister Sundance told his sister not to tell anyone that he was alive.He didn't want anyone finding his grave after he finally did die,according to his sister,LOOK IT UP!
Great chemistry, great script, great director, and two of the best actors at the top of their game. What else you want?
The Sting (1973) Another Paul Newman & Robert Redford classic.
Cassie, since you liked Tombstone, you should check these two movies featuring Wyatt Earp; Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) and Hour of the Gun (1967). I personally find Hour of the Gun really underrated.
Quigley Down Under needs to be on your list to watch.
Might I suggest for your westerns list, "Rio Bravo", starring John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson.
Oh I cannot wait for this one ❤️👍😁
"for one moment I thought we were in trouble" one of my favorite lines
A great screenplay by William Goldman, who also wrote The Princess Bride, which explains the great humor. Great reaction!
Cassie > The leading lady is Katharine Ross. Which brings up a movie suggestion that I'm sure you'll really love that she's in >> it has mystery-suspense-adventure-and romance: The Final Countdown (1980). Kirk Douglas (Michael Douglas' father) and a very young Martin Sheen (the good guy in the Departed) and James Farentino .
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.

You definitely need to watch Open Range. It's an amazing movie. Since baseball season is underway I think you should watch For Love of the Game, it's my favorite Kevin Costner baseball movie.
"For Love of the Game" is a fantastic baseball movie but to put it in the same class as 'Bull Durham" or "Field of Dreams" (much less put it above those two), hmmmmmm...ahhhhhhh...no. Just no. 🤣
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.
Need to watch another western movie called Cat Ballou
I loved watching this with you, Cassie. This is such a good movie. It actually was a simple movie with no special effects and Newman and Redford made this movie, they are great together. I wis they didi more together. I love your ideas for the ending :) As always this was beautifully edited. P.S I hate the green ones too, the white are my fav. :)
Cassie, I just want to say that I hope there is some time in every day that someone tells you just how beautiful you are. Whether it is your husband, your sister, your parents or someone like me, a stranger. There is such a beautiful light that shines through you. I love how you spread your love, your joy and your emotions through your channel. Stay with it because it was made for you.
Thank you on behalf of all your present and future subs.
I don't watch many western movies. But I have always adored this one. I have seen it soooo many times!
The Magnificent Seven is a great movie, but it's a remake, might I suggest watching the original, Seven Samurai.
_Seven Samurai_ is universally regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. It is one of those films that is a must for anyone who loves movies.
