    Nah, Baltimore's an Oklahoma man. Works strictly out of Oklahoma. I don't know where this is, but it sure as hell ain't Oklahoma.

    Butch Cassidy: What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful.
    Guard: People kept robbing it.
    Butch Cassidy: Small price to pay for beauty.

    I was one-month old when this movie was released.

    The Sting was a good movie, but a weak second to Butch and Sundance.



    As an aside:
    I always thought the actor who played Harvey had one of the best voices ever.

    Depends on your taste. One ends well for the heroes, and one does not. One is far superior cinematically, and one is more the great guessing game.

    They are both 9.5s in my book. You cannot say one is better than the other.

    Two things:

    1. Butch/Sundance came first and made Redford a superstar. It was also written by William Goldman (with possibly the greatest script ever). And it had Katharine Ross in it. And Strother Martin. As much as I love The Sting, I prefer Butch/Sundance.

    2. The guy who played Harvey was Ted Cassidy, who also played Lurch on The Addams Family.

    hate to admit it, 'cause i loved "butch/sundance," but it hasn't aged as well as "the sting." a bit short on dialogue and too long on horseback riding.

    don't get me wrong, it's still a classic to me. but fwiw, "the sting" gets my nod. 8)
