This freewheeling adventure was made in a vintage year for the western, with The Wild Bunch and True Grit joining it among the releases, and in many ways it's the western's answer to Bonnie and Clyde. George Roy Hill's film was one of the biggest box-office hits in the genre's history. Some of the credit must go to the Oscar-winning trio of William Goldman, Conrad Hall and Burt Bacharach for the witty script, luminous photography and jaunty score respectively. But the true charm of this ever-popular picture lies in the exhilarating performances of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, who turn the ruthless real-life desperados of fact into loveable rogues and, ultimately, tragic heroes.

Humorous, cheerful, poetic, cinematic account of two semi-legendary outlaws, winningly acted and directed. One of the decade's great commercial successes, not least because of the song 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head'.

Comparable to the The Sting, its direction and musical scores are wonderful, it is humorous and a gentle thrill ride through the american outback.
