September 24 1969 

BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID opens in New York. Directed by George Roy Hill. Written by William Goldman. Funny, fact based, unashamedly escapist western with a terrific Paul Newman and Robert Redford as hotly pursued turn of century, bank-robbing outlaws who are forced to seek refuge in the safer wilds of Bolivia. With Katherine Ross, Strother Martin, Jeff Corey and Henry Jones.
