My favorite non stereotypical western.

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2011)

This is very different.In your stereotypical Western,the hero or heroes almost never run from a fight.Here,the heroes (if you can justify calling them that),spend the entire film running from a fight.Combine this with witty dialog and the undeniable screen chemistry between Redford and Newman,not to mention pleasant scenery,both in the form of filming location and the film's leading lady Katharine Ross,and you've got a winner on your hands.My favorite films in the western genre tend to be a little more on the stereotypical side,but I will say that this is probably my favorite western film that does not include John Wayne,Clint Eastwood,Gary Cooper,or Alan Ladd.
