It's been 40 years since the easygoing, hyper-charismatic tandem of Paul Newman and Robert Redford played the lovable outlaws stuck with each other — and life in blithe flight — till "fuego!" did them apart. The legendary chums came to a more agreeable end in their other George Roy Hill-directed pairing, The Sting (1973), but that effort doesn't offer the frontier-sized leeway of BC&SK, which adds a dash of Bacharach-scored whimsy to the ordeal of getting out of Dodge. Miss Robinson of The Graduate (1967), Katherine Ross, figures in a more innocuous late-'60s threesome by accompanying the gentlemanly robbers to the safe haven of Bolivia — where their mysterious, white-hatted pursuer appears in the distance one day like a tolling alarm.
