Do not let the fact this movie came out in 1971 deter you because this is no Randolph Scott style dandy Western movie.

Review of Lawman (DVD)

They just don't make them like they used to

Advantages: Riveting, four main stars, the score, the direction, where shall I stop?
Disadvantages: None for me, although it's long and slow, which may not be your cup of tea

Rarely am I bothered by extras, but this may just be the one exception. ...

Newman & Redford in a Classic Story!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

I first got introduced to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid via my mum, who loved this film and every time it came on the TV we would sit and watch it together. Mostly as a youngster I got bored half way through and went off to play but as I got older I watched it all the way through and soon grew to love the film. I brought it on DVD when I was an adult and have watched it numerous times over the years. The Story~~ Made in 1969 this film is ...

You'll never meet a pair like Butch and the Kid

...lots of attractive scenery. However, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid still remains one of the most heart-felt and successful films of all time.

It later won 17 and was nominated for another 11 awards. Butch Cassidy ...
...to raise a posse. Furthermore, Butch and Sundance, the villains in the film, are presented as heroes and the audience immediately begins to like them. They become our heroes as the film goes on. The film starts as Butch Cassidy (Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Redford), the leaders of the famous Hole in the Wall Gang, meet each other after a long time and decide to rob the Union Pacific Flyer (a train transporting money) instead of banks like they ...
