c’è un solo aggettivo per questo film: ME-RA-VI-GLIO-SO: robert redford, paul newman, catherine ross, il giro in bicicletta, la musica (raindrops keep falling on my head) e le battute (manos arriba, esto es un robo) e nella memorabile scena finale, uscendo allo scoperto senza sapere che sono completamente circondati dai militari, butch esclama: “meno male, cominciavo a preoccuparmi che non ce l’avremmo fatta…”
Butch Cassidy: Kid, there’s something I ought to tell you. I never shot anybody before.
Sundance Kid: One hell of a time to tell me.
Butch Cassidy: Is that what you call giving cover?
Sundance Kid: Is that what you call running? If I knew you were going to stroll..
Butch Cassidy: Then you jump first.
Sundance Kid: No, I said.
Butch Cassidy: What’s the matter with you?
Sundance Kid: I can’t swim.
Butch Cassidy: Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you.
Butch Cassidy: He always wears a white skimmer. That’s how you tell it’s Joe Lefors, ’cause he always wears a white straw hat. Look at that guy out front.
[Butch and Sundance start running]
Butch Cassidy: Who are those guys?
