    52 Movies: Week 20 – Michael Clayton

    52 Movies: Week 18 – Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

    I saw this movie in uptown New York when it first came out in 1969, with my mother and a friend of hers. For weeks before I went to see it, our shop girls had been doing impersonations of Newman and Redford’s funniest lines in the movie. Even so, it did not disappoint, and afterwards
