Thomas as B. User reviews Review. Top review. This is a great movie all around. It's a great Western, it's a great comedy, it's a great action, and it's a great drama. George Roy Hill did an excellent job with this movie. Paul Newman is one of my favorite actors, and who doesn't like Robert Redford? I just recently saw this movie and I was very pleased when it was over.

They also managed to make this an accurate depiction, because, like the tagline states, for the most part, it's true. A husband-and-wife team of researchers, Daniel Buck and Anne Meadows, after 10 years of digging, have exhumed long-lost Argentine police files that appear to locate the two desperadoes just where conventional wisdom says they should have been in the late s, Bolivia.

Their findings are in the January issue of True West, but Buck is the first to concede that they do not constitute proof positive. No one identified them when they were buried, and there are no photographs [of the bodies].

Then you build a positive circumstantial case that they were the two guys who died in Bolivia. The two and their gang, known as the Wild Bunch, held up banks and robbed trains in the Rocky Mountains in the s. The three homesteaded a ranch in the Cholila Valley. By , though, they were back to robbing banks. A gunfight ensued, ending when darkness fell. Later that night, townspeople reported hearing screams and two shots. In the morning, they found both outlaws dead, both shot in the head.

The writers Buck and Meadows believe that rather than be captured, Cassidy shot Sundance, then himself. The blood curdling job almost floored him, he became panicky and showed that his nerve was completely shot to bits…the boys went into a huddle in the kitchen and instructed Butch in the more formal art of filling coffee cups at the table. Although Patterson thinks the bunch probably only robbed four banks, four express trains and a coal company payroll office, they were soon blamed for every robbery in the Northwest.

According to Patterson:. Little was left to chance. Butch and a few selected gang members would spend days, sometimes weeks, scouting a robbery site and the best escape route. Wisely, they always chose the summer months for all their holdups, when the weather was favorable for eluding posses.

It appears that Cassidy also avoided killing. Although shots were fired during escapes, Butch was never known to have shot anyone during a holdup. The closest Butch ever came to harming a robbery victim was when he used explosives to force his way into an express car. A few express messengers were injured in the blasts, but none seriously. The gang always warned them when they would use dynamite, and they were wise enough to protect themselves by hiding behind the cargo.

A break for the Pinkerton agents seems to have been the result of one of Cassidy's legendary larks. In , some of the Wild Bunch was in Texas to visit their favorite brothels and blow off some steam. They decided to get a formal portrait taken as a joke. It was soon on wanted posters throughout the West. By , it appears Cassidy was tired of life on the run.

A lawyer claimed Cassidy came to visit him, curious if he could get a pardon and settle down for good. When he was told it would be impossible, Cassidy was understanding. You'll never know what it means to be forever on the dodge. According to Patterson, Cassidy managed to charm the populace yet again, even in the midst of planning and executing the robbery:. One boy, year-old Vic Button, whose father managed the CS Ranch east of town where the outlaws camped, remembered Butch as a likable man with a broad grin.

He said the outlaw gave him candy. Button also said that one day when he told Butch how much he admired his horse, Butch replied that someday he might give it to him.

A few days later, Butch kept his word. Following the robbery, as the three outlaws were changing to fresh horses, Butch told the cowboy who had been attending the animals to give his winded horse to the young boy at the CS Ranch. This robbery may have been to fund a new life in South America, far from Pinkerton detectives.

In his typical glib manner, Cassidy wrote to his friend Mathilda Davis back in America about his new setup:. I visited the best cities and best parts of the countries of South A. And this part of the country looked so good that I located, and I think for good, for I like the place better every day.
