"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is a really rotten movie; it's supposed to be one the classics of the 70's, starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, directed by George Hill. In reality it's a classic of hillariously bad direction - about half of the movie is musical montage, with really silly 70s lounge music to boot. What few lines of dialog there are are often repeated, like "who are those guys?". There's absolutely zero character development of the marshalls hunting the heros, and not much development of the heros themselves. The story is so repetetive the director & editor seem to be bored (hence the montages).

What's the relationship between Robert Redford, the town of Sundance Utah, the Sundance Film Festival, and the Sundance Kid ?
