A unique design on this Japanese B2 for the 1969 (opens in a new tab) take on the true story of the infamous Wild West outlaws Butch Cassidy (opens in a new tab) and the Sundance Kid (opens in a new tab), here played by Paul Newman (opens in a new tab) and Robert Redford (opens in a new tab) in arguably their greatest screen roles. George Roy Hill (opens in a new tab) would later go on to direct the pair again in the equally brilliant con men caper The Sting (opens in a new tab) (1973).
The film follows the pair as they rob from money trains with varying success (a botched effort can be seen on the poster) and are forced to flee America after a posse of bounty hunters are unleashed to track them down. Arriving in Bolivia with the Sundance Kid’s lover, Etta Place (played by the gorgeous Katharine Ross (opens in a new tab)), the duo try to make an honest living working as security guards. It’s not long before a violent incident sends them back to their old ways and on a collision course with destiny. The film features arguably the most famous freeze-frame ending in cinematic history.
IMP Awards has a number of excellent posters for the film (opens in a new tab). The original trailer is on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
