Paul Newman on the set of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969, dir. George Roy Hill ) (photo by Jimmy Mitchell, via 20th Century Fox: Inside the Photo Archive)


For years...about 7 to be exact...I have been telling our guests at the Spa about this scene in the movie BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID!!!  We hike past this waterhole about once a week...(if I have anything to do about it)...and we stop and I give my little narrative about the movie.  And it turns out that I've been wrong..all these years.  I've been telling folks that it was Robert Redford who fell back into the water... it was Paul Newman all along!!!
Its good to get the facts straight.
Its even better to finally stumble upon picture proof of the fact!!!
Southern Utah is the backdrop to many a western movie!
Come gather some coral dust between your toes with me, and I'll share this spot with you!!!

  1. I love it! And someday I'll be brave enough to fall back into it as well!
