The Bicycle Scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid


Description This video was shown on #BikeCheck F16. From "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) with paul newman as butch cassidy, katharine ross as etta place&robert redford as the sundance kid for a few seconds at the beginning&end "raindrops keep falling on my head" written by burt bacharach for this film specifically Paul Newman did his own bicycle stunts, after his stunt man was unable to stay on the bike, except for the scene where Butch crashes backwards into the fence, which was performed by cinematographer Conrad L. Hall. /IMdB/ Katharine Ross enjoyed shooting the silent, bicycle riding sequence best, because it was handled by the film crew's second unit rather than the director. She said, "Any day away from George Roy Hill was a good one." /IMdB/
