Trivia:
The sister of the real Butch Cassidy often visited the set, and her presence was welcome to the cast and crew. During lulls in shooting she would tell stories about her famous brother's escapades, and was amazed at how accurately the script and Newman portrayed him. Before the film was released, the studio found out about Butch's sister's visits to the set and tried to convince her to endorse the movie in a series of ads to be shown in theatres across the country. She said that she would, but only if she saw the film first and truly stood behind it. The studio refused, saying that allowing her to see the film before it's release could harm its reputation. Finally, at Redford's suggestion, Butch's sister agreed to do the endorsements-- for a small "fee."

This is a great movie all around. It's a great Western, it's a great comedy,
it's a great action, and it's a great drama. George Roy Hill did an
excellent job with this movie. Paul Newman is one of my favorite actors, and
who doesn't like Robert Redford? I just recently saw this movie and I was
very pleased when it was over. They also managed to make this an accurate
depiction, because, like the tagline states, for the most part, it's true.
Paul Newman and Robert Redford do outstanding jobs as Butch and Sundance.
They have make a great team, and it's fun to watch them rob trains and
banks, and narrowly escape from the Pinkerton Posse. This movie also has
great performances. The two actors make you like Butch and Sundance, and you
want them to escape.
I also thought it was interesting when I learned that the real Hole In The
Wall Gang (besides Butch and Sundance)would soon become the Wild Bunch, or
so I'm told. I find this movie a total enjoyment and can be enjoyed by
anyone. I think that even the most shrill person can find things they like
about this movie, so check it out, because it is and always will be a
classic! 10/10
