A classic

At some point,  I bought this movie on DVD but, for some reasons, I sold it afterwards which is too bad because it could have been pretty neat to re-watch it (on the other hand, I think it is available on Netflix so I should be able to watch it again whenever I want).  Anyway, it is probably regarded as one of the best Westerns ever made and I believe it really deserves this reputation. Indeed, back then Robert Redford was still an upcoming actor and it is with this movie that he would become a major movie star, especially in the 70’s. Eventually, it would be a great masterstroke to combine him with Paul Newman as they had together some great chemistry. In fact, this combinaction was so awesome that this movie became the inspiration for virtually all the buddy movies that came afterwards. Eventually, a few years later, George Roy Hill would try to give the same gimmick with ‘The Sting’, also starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, and even though it would be again a big critical and commercial success, I thought it was a decent watch but not much more than that. To conclude, coming back to our main feature,  it is pretty much a classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
