The on-screen chemistry between Paul Newman and Robert Redford is probably unmatched. With Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and The Sting (1973), these actors with director George Roy Hill made two of the greatest, most entertaining films.
The classic buddy film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid has aged very well in no small part to William Goldman’s smart script and Hill’s creative and spot-on direction. With the astoundingly beautiful Katharine Ross and one of the best movie endings in cinematic history, this film is a must-see and also one to repeatedly revisit.

Great old western movie! Blackthorn was a pretty good and modern update from the 1969 movie. There’s a great book out that goes along with the Blackthorn theme and it’s all about if Butch Cassidy survived Bolivia. It’s called “Legends Lost” by Charlie Mac http://www.charliemacbooks.com and definitely worth checking out!
An incredible body of work is found between these actors. It’s hard to believe Paul Newman has passed and Robert Redford is over 80 yrs old. The world will be a sadder place without them both. You have a great site and thanks for checking out my blog (Prepare To Crossover.com).
Seen it more than once ! Beautifully done, good Actors and great music !
