It amazes me how incredibly well this 1969 western has held up after all these years. At once classically structured and satirically executed, director George Roy Hill and screenwriter William Goldman have pulled together a supremely involving period represent that caters to contemporary sensibilities to this day. It is to their credit that the film remains honest to the characters and never gets too ample during its mercurial paced 110-minute running time. The account naturally revolves around the legendary outlaws who robbed banks at the turn of the last century. Their escapades are divided roughly into three sections in the film. The first is the introductory set-up where their opposite yet complementary personalities are established. Leading the motley Hole in the Wall Gang, they ultimately pull off a notify robbery with an excess of dynamite. The second fraction is an extended streak sequence where Butch and Sundance are chased relentlessly by a group of unknown bounty hunters.

The third and final section details their dash to Bolivia where they are distinct to go straight but earn caught up with local bandits and accept their immoral past catching up with them. It seems inconceivable to have anyone other than Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the title roles. As the more established star at the time, Newman is characteristically laconic as Butch. His innate likeability is enhanced by his rascally manner and crack comedy timing. In the more weak gunslinger role, Redford provides the ideal partner with his flinty manner and unavoidable charisma. In between them is Katharine Ross, new from “The Graduate”, who plays Etta with sensual élan, though she does not figure in the most notable scenes. Of course, Burt Bacharach’s instantly recognizable musical gain is here, and while there is an anachronistic feel to such 1960’s-sounding pop music over a western, it somehow works because the attitude of the film seems so new. Even the comically romantic bicycle sequence manages to keep its buoyancy thanks to the inane but undeniably catchy “Raindrops Withhold Fallin’ on My Head”.

Conrad Hall’s vibrant, burnished cinematography deserves special mention as it has been preserved well in the 2006 Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD package. The rest of the two-disc package is robust though bordering on overkill, adding on to the features that were already included in the previous 2000 Special Edition DVD. Retained from that edition is the curious combination of perspectives provided by Hill, Hall, lyricist Hal David and associate producer Bob Crawford in their joint commentary track. Recent is separate and equally insightful commentary from Goldman. Another holdover from the previous edition is the forty-minute vintage documentary, “The Making of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid”, a tranquil terrific featurette from 1970 with participation from Newman, Goldman, Hill and Redford.

There are three fresh documentaries - a 2005 retrospective gape at the film called “All of What Follows is True: The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”; a fact-check featurette called “The Wild Bunch: The Fair Narrative of Butch & Sundance”; and the somewhat repetitive “History Through the Lens: Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid: Outlaws Out of Time”, a cumulative anguish which combines elements of all the other documentaries into one ninety-minute feature. Lots of colossal insight is provided on the 1994 interviews with Newman, Redford, Ross, Goldman and Bacharach. A deleted scene is also included with Hill’s commentary (since the audio had been lost) - it is a disposable transitional scene where Butch and Sundance are watching newsreel footage of themselves in a Bolivian theater while Etta quietly leaves to the screech status. Lastly, there are trailers for eight of Newman’s vintage films. This is definitely a robust package for one of the substantial films of the 1960’s.

This disc ranks true up there with one of the worst Blu-ray transfers I possess (along with the first Stargate release) . It is a shame, as this is a really astronomical and fun movie. It is one of the first westerns I occupy that really interspersed humor with drama in an effective contrivance. I plan it tried to be a bit too distinguished or to have something for everyone (the bicycle scene went on a exiguous long for my taste, for example) . Audio is fair but the failure to accomplish a really outstanding video transfer (as was done with Patton recently) will disappoint the many fans of this movie who were eagerly awaiting this release.
