This is what you might call "lightly likable". It's a comic Western about the two famous outlaws of the Hole in the Wall gang. I saw it at the Louisville cinema when it came out, and I wasn't thrilled, but I wasn't totally averse to it. I remember when the scene where Sundance (Redford) looks like he is going to rape the gorgeous school teacher (Katherine Ross) telling her to undress at gunpoint, and she does so, and then when you think it will be violent, she asks him what the H.. took him so long. I remember it because while I thought it was corny, one hot girl in the theater started laughing and commenting on how funny it was. I thought it was ordinary, but some people really ate this stuff up. Butch (Newman) is the thinker, and Sundance is the muscle. Like I say, the comedy is of the lightly likable sort. I'm not sure it will be appreciated that much over time, but who knows?
