Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

This is a great film. With the leading actors and director from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid I had high expectations. I was not disappointed.

The story is very clever with nice little twists in it. The whole thing, set in 1936, looks great. Director George Roy Hill did a great job as he did in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul Newman and Robert Redford were almost as good as they were in that movie. They had a little more comedy parts there.

Simply said, this film is great, very close to Butch Cassidy and a definite classic. 10/10.
