George Roy Hill directs Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Robert Shaw in this pure period long con movie.

So relaxed it might as well be horizontal and all the cooler for it. Three elegantly cast star turns, lush depression era locations and styles plus one genuine shock. This is exactly what I want from a Sunday afternoon consuming star vehicle. Just let them juice off each other. Shaw inches it in my book. A prime example of the lost art of grand Hollywood entertainment. De-de-duh-da-doh-dah… RIP Sundance.
