Saturday Music with Bacharach

At this time in April, THE FUTURIST! is always reminded of George Roy Hill's BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. The film holds a special place in the small dark heart of THE FUTURIST! .... yes, it's not the greatest film ever made or full of deep meaning .... but, it was one of THE Films that made THE FUTURIST! really truly love movies. It's too complicated to go into, too personal and emotional, actually, but late April and Spring bring Butch and Sundance to mind ... AND that un-Western Movie-like score by the great Burt Bacharach. Here's the bit that accompanies the sepia toned photo montage of the outlaws' excursions from the law on the East Coast of America.

Listen:


THE OLD FUN CITY

Nice piece. I don't remember it from the film really.
