There's so much to unpack with this one ladies. To start with, this is one of my Top 5 Hollywood Westerns. The other four being: UNFORGIVEN (1992), SILVERADO (1985) EL DORADO (1966) and BLAZZING SADDLES (1974). This history of Hollywood is Inextricably intertwined with the westerns. THE GREAT TRAIN ROBERY (1903) was one of the first hit film to ever be produced in the U.S. THE STRAW MAN (1916) that was the first major feature filmed in Hollywood. The barn that Paramount Pictures rented still stands today as a Museum. Most of America, and the world's ideology about the west comes from Hollywood. Here is a list compiled by IMDB. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls002124326/ The westerns were so prolific that eventually audience grew tired of "the same old formula." This could be simplified as the "white hat/black hat" trope. Because of the strict censors put up by the Hays Code (1934c -1968) you always knew that the good guy would win, the bad guy would be defeated, and that law and order would prevail. Morality was black and white, even when the pictures transitioned to color. However; beginning in the mid-60s, European directors, influenced by American films began to fuse American filmmaking with their own sensibilities. The most known and greatest of these directors was Italian director Sergio Leone and what would come to be known as "Spaghetti Westerns." His epic western trilogy - A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS (1964) A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965) and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966) revolutionized how we saw westerns. They were bloody, they were brash, there's was no hero. Just the anit-hero found in Clint Eastwood, a.k.a. "the man with no name". These films and the abolishment of the Hays Code, replaced by the then MPAA, changed they way westerns (and Hollywood movies) were made ushering in for a brief period a great crop of new westerns like this film and THE WILD BUNCH (1969). https://youtu.be/fnJxcEPy2aY?si=DYT2Mz5Rd3F07B41 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was directed by George Roy Hill, known for pictures like THE WORLD ACORDING TO GARP (1982) THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER (1975) A LITTLE ROMANCE (1979) and the only other film Robert Redford and Paul Newman did together - THE STING (1973) The screenwriter - William Goldman, is arguably one of the greatest screenwriters who ever lived. His films are classics, legendary, and any writer would kill to have just one of his films as their credit. Some include - THE PRICNCESS BRIDE (1987), ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (1976), MISERY (1990), MARATHON MAN (1976), CHAPLIN (1992), just to name a few. George Roy Hill wanted BCATSK to be a "modern western." He dropped the classic soundtrack in favor of a pop song and a jazz vocal chorus. He opted to put in a montage sequence of our protagonists in New York using still indicative of the early 1900s both to set the film apart from western that had come before, and also as cast cutting measure. Nanette I know you wanted to see more of there time in New York, but it wasn't in the budget and would have detracted from the story at large. Hill wanted this to be a story about the death of the old west. The modern era was encroaching and the cowboy's way of life (for the most part) was being pushed out. Most people don't realize that what we've come to think of as "The Old West" really just covers a period of 40-60 years, beginning with the great American expansion, halting for a brief time during The Civil War, reaching it's zenith in the 1870s, and coming to end before the 1990s. The time period was so short that those cowboys who survived ended up becoming sunt men in the early days of Hollywood. Wyatt Earp served as a consultant on early pictures, and Cowboy cinema stars were his Pallbearers at his funeral in 1929. William Goldman did extensive research into Butch and Sundance, and what you saw was indeed "mostly true." Though some family members who were alive at the time of filming contended that Butch had survive. Hitting The Bottom of the Barrel at 29 Life expectancy in 1899 was roughly 48 years for the average American. The only way a woman could make income on her own in those days was either as an educator (school teacher) or a prostitute. I know it sucks, but women were tied to men more for financial reason than love. Even if you had money, it was hoped that you would goin with a man from a family of money so that he would look after it. Most people today don't even know that a woman in the US could not have a bank account solely in her name until 1974. Here's a podcast w/ Arron Sorkin, discussing BCATSK It's incredibly insightful! https://youtu.be/ebmJaNoWocg?si=OrzmR_KfMPpotUed Since you asked for more recommendation of grate westerns, here are some in the scope of your viewing, in no particular order: TOMBSTONE (1993) A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS (1964) A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965) THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (1966) THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960) THE WILD BUNCH (1969) UNFORGIVEN (1992) I think you saw this one RUSTLERS RAPSODY (1985) SILVERADO (1985) EL DORADO (1966) LITTLE BIG-MAN (1970) DANCES WITH WOLVES (1990) HOW THE WEST WAS WON (1962) BLAZZING SADLES (1974) YOUNG GUNS (1988) THE LONG RIDERS (1980) And before I go, here's Biography's The Real Story of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid https://youtu.be/hFh9PyrsWyA?si=CFFhP2K5vZHuUSvd

Strother Martin (the 'colorful' boss) also appeared in 2 other films with Paul Newman: "Cool Hand Luke" before this and "Slap Shot" after. I highly recommend both.
