Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

One of the best films about criminals ever made was the 1969 story of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 1___ . There is a story that Butch Cassidy’s first crime was to steal some clothes. He had gone to town to buy a suit but, when he got there, the shop was shut. 2___ . This story may not be true, but it shows that he was a ‘gentleman criminal’ who liked stealing money but always tried not to hurt anybody.

He and his gang robbed banks and trains and, in 1900, he met up with Harry Longabaugh, alias the Sundance Kid. They kept on robbing trains. In one robbery, they killed someone who worked on the railway. 3___ For a few years they lived normal lives, but then they started robbing banks again. Nobody knows why. 4___ . In 1908, there was a bank robbery in Bolivia and the police shot two men who had committed the crime. After that, nobody heard of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid again so everybody thinks they were the robbers, but nobody really knows.

The film starred Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Paul Newman was already very famous, but Robert Redford was almost unknown. 5___ . He thought about Marlon Brando or Steve McQueen. In the end, Robert Redford was perfect.

The director was George Roy Hill.

The film is also famous for its ending where, as the two criminals are shot dead, the film stops so that you don’t actually see them die.
