SCAD Cinema Circle: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – Lucas Theatre for the Arts
January 26
Celebrate the centennial of Hollywood icon Paul Newman with a special screening of the film that cemented his legacy as a true magnetic titan of the silver screen. A film that captured the zeitgeist and exists in the rarefied air of cinematic immortality, Newman is effortlessly cool as the roguish outlaw Butch Cassidy, alongside Robert Redford’s Sundance. With a radiantly playful script by William Goldman, Butch and Sundance quip and cavort their way across the west robbing trains with the twinkly-eyed charisma of genial gentleman bandits. Subversively disrupting the Western genre with its anti-hero appeal, this ultimate buddy comedy remains a testament to Newman’s enduring brilliance.
An introduction by a SCAD faculty member precedes the screening.
Tickets, part of SCAD Cinema Circle: Goes West, are free for SCAD Card holders; $5 for students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public.
