Most of what follows is true

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2005)

The age-old question surrounding this movie is whether it is a comedy or a western.does it really matter?what does matter is a film that is well made,from the fine camera work from Conrad Hall,good direction by George Roy Hill,and charismatic performances by the two leads Paul Newman and Robert Redford.also great support by Strother Martin(bingo!),Kenneth Mars,and also Katherine Ross.it's still hard to believe that Warren Beatty and Steve McQueen were originally supposed to play the two outlaws.the only real problem i have is with the film's soundtrack which can seem a bit sugary for the subject.never mind-sit back and enjoy a marvelous piece of entertainment from a group of old pros.
