The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Robert L. Crawford’s Emmy Award-winning film is notable as one of the first extended documentary looks behind the scenes at the creation of a major dramatic feature, in this case George Roy Hill’s winner of four Oscars, one of the most popular films of 1969. Featuring interviews with Robert Redford and Paul Newman, and extensive commentary by director Hill, this documentary also provides a fascinating historical look at location filmmaking in the late 1960s, just as the old studio system was rapidly fading away.
