Notorious American B movie producer Edward L. Montoro retitled this spaghetti western "Sundance Cassidy and Butch the Kid" when he released it to American theaters in the '70s. But the only connection this movie has to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is that both are westerns and both have comic bits. If the makers of this spaghetti western had copied the American movie's quality, we might have had something here. Oh, there are a few minor amusing bits, and there is some impressive stunt work on display (some of it actually performed by the actors instead of their stunt doubles.) But on the whole, this is a tired enterprise that feels endless at times. The American print I saw was cut by about twenty five minutes, and judging from what survived the editing, I think the original Italian version would be much harder to sit through.
