Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Rewatch)

Saturday night, Carmen, Drew, Jack, Sharon and I watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Jack, Sharon and I had watched the movie in 2018 after Paul Newman died.

At the 1970 Academy Awards, the film received seven nominations and won four Oscars. The wins included: Best Original Screenplay: William Goldman; Best Cinematography: Conrad L. Hall; Best Original Score (Non-Musical): Burt Bacharach; and Best Original Song: "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" (Burt Bacharach and Hal David).

It was also nominated in the following major categories but did not win: Best Picture; Best Director: George Roy Hill; and Best Sound: William Edmondson and David Dockendorf. Despite the iconic performances of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, neither lead actor received an Oscar nomination for their roles in this film.

I had forgotten how long the chase scene is in the middle of the movie and how long they were in Bolivia. Although more than fifty-five years old, I feel like the movie holds up pretty well and is pretty rewatchable.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head is included in the Soundtrack for my Life.
