Movie: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Tagline: Just for the fun of it!
Trivia: Contrary to popular belief, the vocalists on the Burt Bacharach-penned song “South American Getaway” in this film were not the Swingle Singers. It was instead performed by the Ron Hicklin Singers, a group of Los Angeles studio vocalists best known as the real singers behind the background vocals on The Partridge Family recordings.
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: When they’re eating at Etta’s house, before and after Butch shouts, “You probably inherited every penny you got!” you can see Butch’s shadow on the set.
“Butch and Sundance are the two leaders of the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang. Butch is all ideas, Sundance is all action and skill. The west is becoming civilized and when Butch and Sundance rob a train once too often, a special posse begins trailing them no matter where they run. Over rock, through towns, across rivers, the group is always just behind them. When they finally escape through sheer luck, Butch has another idea, “Let’s go to Bolivia”. Based on the exploits of the historical characters. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>”
