Quotes

Butch Cassidy: Well, it looks like the end of the line, Kid. A lot of years and a lot of ridin'.
Sundance Kid: It's those railroad detectives. If they'd just let us alone. They're the cause of all this.
Butch Cassidy: No, I'm blamin' my old man.
Sundance Kid: What are you talkin' about?
Butch Cassidy: Well, when I was ten, if he'd hired an honest foreman instead of a rustler, I'da probably grown up respectable.

A very unknown but likable little western....with a good song

There are no credits given for the song or the singer for the ballad with which this movie begins, either at the beginning or end of the film itself or here at IMDb. I assume Paul Dunlop at least wrote it since he is credited with songs for other western films.

If anyone finds out the name of the singer, please post it. He's not bad.

I'm amazed anyone else saw this. I caught it by accident on the Western Channel (Starz) and surprised that a film boasting Neville Brand, plus other famous character actors like Alan Hale, Jr. and Bruce Bennett would be so unknown.
