................tonight its Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Directed by Roy Hill in 1969. The film won four Academy Awards: Best Cinematography; Best Original Score for a Motion Picture; Best Music, Song (Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head); and Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Based on Material Not Previously Published or Produced. It was also nominated for Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Sound. This film inspired also the television series "Alias Smith and Jones", starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy, which was one of my favourites.
