Likeable, but this may suffer from too much expectation. I have heard and read so much about this film that when I finally saw it I was let down. Wonderful acting. I just expected more.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Delightful seriocomic character study masquerading as a Western; outlaws Newman and Redford are pursued by relentless but remote sheriff's posse. Many memorable vignettes. Won Oscars for Cinematography (Conrad Hall), Original Score (Burt Bacharach), Song, ``Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head'' (Bacharach and Hal David), and William Goldman's original screenplay, which brims over with sharp dialogue. Look for Sam Elliott as a card player. Followed a decade later by a prequel, BUTCH AND SUNDANCE: THE EARLY DAYS. Then in 1976 Ross returned as Etta Place in TVM WANTED: THE SUNDANCE WOMAN (aka MRS. SUNDANCE RIDES AGAIN). Panavision.
