Paul Newman And Robert Redford Make An Excellent Team

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2002)

Any film that would put Paul Newman and Robert Redford together may sound miscast but the results have twice proven to be pure box office magic. In their first teaming, Newman and Redford portray the two legendary outlaws whose many adventures during the early 1900's are sometimes comedic, sometimes dramatic and sometimes dangerous. This late 1960's classic was one of the earliest examples of the enjoyable modern day buddy films. The chemistry between Newman and Redford was so successful that four years later, they made another film together "The Sting" which was an Academy Award winner for Best Picture. However, this film was nominated for Best Picture too setting a new precedent for film duo teamings.
