Решила на месте посмотреть этот фильм, давно собиралась.
Единственное, что на мой взгляд было не на высоте так это саундтрек. Попсовым мелодиям не место в вестерне.
Я и не знала, что в то время Пол Ньюман уже был знаменитым актером, а Редфорд только начинающим, и что Пол пригласил его на роль, потому что верил в его талант.
Нужно еще обязательно посмотреть еще один их совместный фильм "Афера", о котором я давно слышала.
Дружба на экране перешла и в крепкую дружбу в жизни.

А вот этого, не знала:

Редфорд назвал в честь своего персонажа приобретенное на гонорар от фильма горное поместье, где впоследствии возник одноимённый горнолыжный курорт.
Теперь там проходит основанный Редфордом американский фестиваль независимого кино «Санденс».



Когда смотрела фильм, ко мне подошел один из плосколобых охранников, молодой такой быдломан, с говорящей за это рожей.
Но что вышло из его уст дальше ...

- Что смотришь?
- Старый вестерн.
- ....?
- Вестерн ...
- ....???
- Буч Кэссиди и Сандэнс Кид ...
- А по-русски как?
- Так и есть. Это имена.
- Больше смотреть нечего?


'Butch Cassidy' (Robert Leroy Parker) was so nick-named because he once worked in a butcher's shop.
'The Sundance Kid' (Harry Alonzo Longabaugh) was nick-named this because he once was arrested in the Wyoming town of Sundance.

During filming Paul Newman had an affair with journalist Nancy Bacon, which caused him to separate from his wife Joanne Woodward for a time.

Lula Parker Betenson, sister of the real Butch Cassidy, often visited the set, and her presence was welcome to the cast and crew.
During lulls in shooting she would tell stories about her famous brother's escapades, and was amazed at how accurately the sсript and Paul Newman portrayed him.
Before the film was released, the studio found out about her visits and tried to convince her to endorse the movie in a series of ads to be shown in theatres across the country.
She said that she would, but only if she saw the film first and truly stood behind it. The studio refused, saying that allowing her to see the film before its release could harm its reputation.
Finally, at Robert Redford's suggestion, she agreed to do the endorsements - for a small "fee."

Katharine Ross enjoyed shooting the silent, bicycle riding sequence best, because it was handled by the film crew's second unit rather than the director.
She said, "Any day away from George Roy Hill was a good one." (This was after she had been scolded and banned from the set for operating a camera.)

Other actors that were under consideration for the role of Sundance were Steve McQueen and Warren Beatty.
McQueen withdrew due to billing disagreements, and Beatty declined as he found the film too similar to Бонни и Клайд.

Marlon Brando was seriously considered to team with Paul Newman for one of the roles.

Dustin Hoffman was considered for the role of Butch Cassidy.

Jack Lemmon turned down the role of Sundance because of a scheduling conflict with The Odd Couple.

Paul Newman did his own bicycle stunts.
