Story Synopsis:
The 1969 Academy Award®-winner for Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Score and Original Song (“Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”), Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid stars Robert Redford and Paul Newman as likeable outlaws who have grown tired of outrunning the law in the Old West. So, accompanied by Sundance’s girlfriend (Ross), they travel to Bolivia, learn the language of bank robbing and take another shot at success as “Bandidos Yanquis.”
LaserDisc Picture:
Framed at the original 2.35:1 scope aspect ratio, the picture has a natural look with purposely subdued and undersaturated colors in several scenes for an overall soft rendering. Fleshtones are natural and dark scenes are solid with virtually no grain or aritfacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is monaural.
