Robert Redford Thought ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head’ Would Kill ‘Butch Cassidy’ — Then It Hit No. 1

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was the top box-office-grossing film of 1969, and anyone who has seen this movie understands exactly why it was so popular. However, did you know that there was something in this film that just drove actor Robert Redford nuts? Something that he truly didn’t like? In fact, he absolutely hated everything about it. What could that be? Hang tight for just a minute or two, dear reader, and everything will be explained.

The biggest thing that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had going for it was its two main stars. Redford and Paul Newman were just so good as the title characters, and Katharine Ross wasn’t half bad either. Of course, there was also George Roy Hill‘s direction coupled with William Goldman’s fantastic script. Yep, everything just came together like a perfect recipe.
