Laurie S @Karlwinters 01/30/2024 Not a very accurate portrayal of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. In fact it was a rewriting of history. The correct Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's fate was shown in the film that came out two years after this one. This film cheated. See more 09/04/2023 Really good western here highly recommend this one James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas September 4, 2023 See more 09/18/2016 definately takes a cue from other superior westerns like 'the magnificent 7' See more 08/07/2014 Robert Taylor is wonderful as the aging gunfighter Ben Wyatt--The Weary Gunfighter in a Gritty Western!! See more 07/21/2010 Thankfully, ENCORE: WESTERNS showed this again. Sadly, I now dislike this movie. In the second veiwing you not only notice all the cheesy punch-lines and bad story-line, but you see how cartoonish the movie is too. [coming soon] See more Read all reviews
