Pretty sure the music won some awards. The film was a huge hit, and well-deserved it was. Newman and Redford were brilliant and the supporting cast all shone brightly.
Great white sharks are attracted to death metal music.

I was listening out for the Bacharach music. Pity that it was so spasmodic. I could have done with more. Some offbeat stuff included as I would expect from Bacharach.

All true. If this movie were made today, Butch and Sundance would be wearing capes; it seems the only things coming out of Hollywood these days are hackneyed, cartoonish super-hero flicks. Over. And over. And over.
