Etta Place was a companion of both the American outlaws Butch Cassidy (real name Robert LeRoy Parker) and the Sundance Kid (Harry Alonzo Longabaugh), members of the outlaw gang known as the Wild Bunch. She seemed to be the love interest of Longabaugh. Little is known about Etta Place. Both her origin and her fate remain shrouded in mystery. Etta Place is portrayed by Katharine Ross, who won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress for her role.

1. He is the sheriff
   He is the Bolivian mine boss
2. He is a member of the Hole in the Wall gang
   None of the above

Percy Garris, the "colorful" Bolivian mine boss, hires Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for a real job as guards for a mining company. Strother Martin, who portrays Percy Garris, is known for his character acting, especially as a prisoner “captain” in Cool Hand Luke. In that film, he utters his famous line, “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.”

   B. The Sundance Kid
2. C. Sheriff Bledsoe
   D. None of the above

When Butch Cassidy returns, he finds the gang members are mad about his long absences and they have chosen Harvey Logan as their new leader. In real life, Harvey Logan began riding with the Wild Bunch (called Hole in the Wall Gang in the film) in 1899. In the movie, Harvey Logan is portrayed by Ted Cassidy, best known for his role of Lurch in the Addams Family.

1. A. Harvey wins
   B. Harvey loses due to trickery on Butch Cassidy’s part
2. C. Butch doesn’t kill Harvey, but Sundance does
   D. Another gang member defends Harvey and injures Butch

Harvey challenges Butch to a knife fight over the gang's leadership. Butch defeats him by pretending to go over the rules, kicking him in the groin and knocking him unconscious. After the fight, Butch embraces Harvey's idea to rob the Union Pacific Overland Flyer train on both its eastward and westward runs. Ted Cassidy's character, Harvey Logan, portrayed as a simple-minded thug, was in fact a suave ladies' man and calculating, cold-blooded murderer.

1. They put all their loot into a bank
   They bury all their loot
2. They visit a brothel
   They buy cartons of whiskey to store in their hideout

Butch and Sundance visit a favorite brothel to celebrate a successful train robbery. Then they visit Etta Place, Sundance’s lover. Did you know the more commonly used name for Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid's gang was The Wild Bunch? However, when the Sam Peckinpah film, The Wild Bunch (1969), was released a few months earlier, the name of the gang was changed to the Hole in the Wall Gang to avoid confusion with Peckinpah's film.

1. A. They hold a fat woman passenger hostage so that Woodcock opens the door to the safe car
   B. Butch uses too much dynamite on the new safe
2. C. A second train arrives, carrying a posse of trained lawmen
   All of the above

On the second train robbery, Butch tricks Woodcock into opening the rail car door, but then uses too much dynamite to blow open the safe. The explosion ends up blowing up the baggage car, too. As the gang scrambles to gather up the money, a second train arrives, carrying a six-man team of lawmen who are pursuing Butch and Sundance. Did you know that George Furth portrayed Woodcock, the very responsible employee of E. H. Harriman? George Furth is a well-known character actor, frequently cast as a bespectacled, ineffectual milquetoast. Furth appeared in such films as The Boston Strangler, Myra Breckinridge, Blazing Saddles, Shampoo, The Cannonball Run, The Man with Two Brains, and Bulworth. His television credits are too numerous to name.

1. Renowned Indian tracker, “Lord Baltimore,” is in the posse
   The relentless lawman, Joe Lefors, is in the posse
2. E.H. Harriman will continue to pay the posse until Butch and Sundance are dead
   All of the above

The posse remains in pursuit, despite all attempts to elude them. Butch and Sundance determine that the group includes renowned Indian tracker "Lord Baltimore" and relentless lawman Joe Lefors, recognizable by his white skimmer. They learn from Etta that the posse has been paid by Union Pacific head, E. H. Harriman, to remain on their trail until Butch and Sundance are both dead.

1. By abandoning their horses and going on foot
   By jumping from a cliff into a river
2. By distracting the pursuers with wolf calls
   None of the above

Butch and Sundance escape the posse by jumping from a cliff into a river far below. It isn’t until they are cornered that Butch finds out that Sundance can’t swim. Butch’s response is very practical: “Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you.” The river jump was shot at the studio's Century Ranch near Malibu, CA. Paul Newman's and Robert Redford's stuntmen actually jumped off of a construction crane by Century Lake. The crane was obscured by a matte painting of the cliffs. Newman and Redford started the jump, but only landed on a mattress.

1. A. From his white horse
   B. From his white skimmer (hat)
2. C. From his long, white beard
   D. None of the above

Relentless lawman Joe Lefors is recognizable by his white skimmer, a hat that he always wears. Knowing Joe is on their trail makes them first seek amnesty from the friendly Sheriff Bledsoe. They ask him for help in enlisting in the army. Then Butch convinces Sundance and Etta that the three should escape to Bolivia. The real Butch Cassidy, whose name was Robert Leroy Parker, got his nickname because he once worked in a butcher's shop. The Sundance Kid--real name Harry Alonzo Longabaugh--got his nickname because he once was arrested in the Wyoming town of Sundance.

1. A. He doesn’t like the living conditions
   B. He loves the food
2. C. It’s easy to converse with the locals
   D. None of the above

On their arrival in Bolivia, Sundance is dismayed by the living conditions and regards the country with contempt, but Butch remains positive. They discover that they know too little Spanish to pull off a bank robbery, so Etta attempts to teach them the language. All the Bolivia scenes were filmed in Mexico, where almost the entire cast and crew, and the director, came down with Montezuma's Revenge (severe diarrhea caused by drinking Mexico's notoriously polluted water). Only Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Katharine Ross were spared, because they refused to drink the water catered on the set and stuck to drinking soda and alcohol for the duration of the shoot.

1. Successful train robbers
   Successful bank robbers
2. Successful farmers
   None of the above

With Etta’s help, they become successful bank robbers, known as Los Bandidos Yanquis. Before the real Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid ended up in Bolivia, they spent some time in the Patagonia area of Argentina, in a town called Cholila. After robbing a bank and fleeing that country, they spent a brief time in Chile, where they befriended miner Percy Seibert, the inspiration for the character Percy Garris.

1. They get injured robbing a bank
   They think they see lawman Lefors
2. They find farming more profitable
   None of the above

Butch suggests “going straight” after they see a man wearing a white hat (the signature of determined lawman Lefors) and fear that Harriman's posse is still after them. Though the real Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were reported killed in San Vicente, Bolivia, on November 7, 1908, the location of their grave has been lost. This has resulted in a long-lived conspiracy theory that their deaths were faked, or that two other men were killed and misidentified as them.

1. A. Farmers
   B. Payroll guards for a mining company
2. C. Security guards for a bank
   D. None of the above

When they land their first honest job as payroll guards for a mining company, they are ambushed by local bandits on their first run and their boss, Percy Garris, is killed. Percy Garris is portrayed by Strother Martin. Martin's distinctive, reedy voice and menacing demeanor made him ideal for villainous roles in many of the best-known westerns of the 1950s and 1960s, including The Horse Soldiers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. His lunatic turn in the latter film as an insanely sadistic henchman for Lee Marvin's character, gleefully giggling in anticipation of each horrendous atrocity, remains a particularly memorable performance.

1. A. They leave the money and run
   B. They raise their hands to signal surrender and the bandits let them go
2. C. They come back and ambush and kill the bandits
   D. A & C

Although Butch and Sundance leave the money and run, they circle back and ambush the local bandits as they are distributing the loot. Butch admits that he has never killed a man. Sundance’s reply to that is, “One hell of a time to tell me!”

1. The restaurant has a wanted poster of 'Los Bandidos Yanquis'
   A boy recognizes the mules' brand and alerts the local police
2. The determined lawman Lefors finally stumbles upon them
   None of the above

A boy recognizes the mules' brand and alerts the local police, leading to a gunfight with the outlaws. The duo take cover in a building but are both seriously wounded, after Butch makes a futile attempt to run to the mules in order to bring more ammunition. Did you know by this time in the film, the body count is 30 people?

1. She is at their home in Bolivia
   She had already left for the U.S.
2. She had gotten sick and died
   None of the above

After the payroll fiasco, Etta recommends farming or ranching as other lines of work, but Butch and Sundance conclude the straight life isn't for them. Sensing they will be killed if they return to robbery, Etta decides to go back to the United States. Katharine Ross portrayed Etta and Sam Elliott made his debut in this film as a card player. He and Ross married in 1984.

1. A. In a freeze frame where the pair are charging out of the building, guns blazing
   B. From the perspective of the Bolivian army, looking from above at the pair in the building
2. C. With Etta looking out of a train window on her trip back to the United States
   D. None of the above

As dozens of Bolivian soldiers surround the area, the film ends with a freeze frame shot on the pair charging out of the building, guns blazing, before the Bolivian forces open fire. Contrary to Percy Garris’s on-screen death, Percy Garris remained alive. Percy Garris is based on the real Percy Seibert, a Maryland mining engineer the pair worked with in Antofagasta, Chile. Percy Seibert was still alive when the two died, and he served as the coroner's witness. In a 1930 interview, Seibert reaffirmed having identified the two dead in 1908, and insisted that any conspiracy theory was "rubbish."

1. Sundance
   Butch Cassidy
2. Percy Garris
   Etta Place

The clever, talkative leader of the outlaw Hole in the Wall Gang says this to his less talkative partner, Sundance. According to screenwriter William Goldman, his screenplay originally was entitled "The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy." Both Steve McQueen and Paul Newman read the script at approximately the same time and agreed to do it, with McQueen playing the Sundance Kid. When McQueen dropped out, the names were reversed in the title, as Newman was a superstar.

1. Sundance
   Sheriff Bledsoe
2. Percy Garris
   Etta Place

This line is said prior to Harvey Logan and Butch Cassidy fighting over who will be the leader of the Hole in the Wall Gang. Ted Cassidy's character, Harvey Logan, is portrayed as a simple-minded thug. The real outlaw was a cold-blooded murderer. He is best known for his clever escape from a jail in Knoxville, TN, in 1902.

1. Sundance
   Sheriff Bledsoe
2. Percy Garris
   Etta Place

This line really shows the relationship between Butch and the Sundance Kid - they have each other's backs. In this scene where Harvey Logan has challenged Butch to fight for control of the gang, Butch Cassidy also shows his humor in a precarious situation. Not unlike the questioned authenticity of Butch Cassidy's and the Sundance Kid's death, Harry Logan’s officially reported death (in a 1904 Colorado train robbery) was contested by mutually exclusive eyewitness claims. They claimed he was living on several different continents over the decades.

1. A. The bicycle scene
   B. The scene where Etta helps them rob banks in Bolivia
2. C. The scene where Etta makes dinner for both Butch and Sundance
   D. None of the above

The relationship triangle between Etta, Butch, and Sundance is complicated. She loves them both but has a physical relationship with Sundance, as she met him first. Did you know Paul Newman did his own bicycle stunts, after his stunt man was unable to stay on the bike? The only stunt he didn't do was the scene where Butch crashes backwards into the fence, which was performed by cinematographer Conrad L. Hall.

1. A. Sheriff Bledsoe
   B. Card Player #2
2. C. The Bolivian police commander
   None of the above

In a card game, Sundance keeps insisting that he is not cheating. When the Card Player learns Sundance’s name, he changes his tune. Sundance treats him to a demonstration of his shooting prowess as he and Butch Cassidy leave the saloon. Robert Redford wanted to do all his own stunts. Paul Newman was especially upset about Redford's desire to jump onto the train roof and run along the tops of the cars as it moved. Redford said Newman told him, "I don't want any heroics around here . . . I don't want to lose a co-star."

1. Sundance
   Harry Logan
2. Percy Garris
   Etta Place

He is talking to Sundance. During the Bolivian gunfight, they realize they don’t have enough ammunition to get themselves out of the situation. The mule they brought is where the ammunition is stored. Paul Newman, who was reluctant to do a comic role, thought he was scaling his performance "a little too high, a little too broad," but director George Roy Hill got him to do less and find his own level of wry humor that fit the character.

1. Harry Logan
   Flat Nose Curry
2. Butch Cassidy
   None of the above

Butch Cassidy and Etta are conversing. Butch has no problem joking about himself as well during the precarious situations he and the Sundance Kid find themselves in. Did you know Flat Nose Curry was a real outlaw? Curry was a mentor to Harvey Logan, who would adopt the surname Curry, and the two robbed banks together before both became members of Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch. Curry would be killed by a Sheriff while rustling in Grand County, Utah.

1. The Sheriff
   The Bolivia Army
2. The unrelenting posse
   None of the above

They are referring to the posse that Union Pacific head, E. H. Harriman, hired to kill the duo. The posse includes an Indian tracker, "Lord Baltimore," and relentless lawman, Joe Lefors, recognizable by his white skimmer. Joe Lefors was a real lawman in the closing years of the Old West. He is best known for the arrest of gunman Tom Horn in 1903 for the alleged murder of 14‑year-old sheepherder Willie Nickell. This arrest has since come into question. It has long been believed that Lefors falsified evidence, helping to convict the wrong man for the murder.

1. Etta Place
   Harry Logan
2. Percy Garris
   Sundance

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fit well together. While Butch is affable and talkative, Sundance is extremely brief in his use of words. Paul Newman said that this was the most fun he'd ever had making a film. He and Robert Redford drank a lot of beer in Mexico.

1. Percy Garris
   Card Player #2
2. Harry Logan
   Woodcock

Woodcock will not open the railroad car door to access the safe. As he is explaining why to the Hole in the Wall Gang, the door gets blown away by the ignited dynamite. George Furth (Woodcock) was also a playwright, as well as an actor. Furth won both the Tony and Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical for Company, and he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play for Precious Sons.

1. Agnes, the prostitute
   Etta Place
2. The large woman train passenger
   None of the above

Etta Place says this when deciding she would go to Bolivia with the pair of outlaws. The screenwriter, William Goldman, decided to make Etta a teacher because he had seen a photo of the real-life woman and decided she was too young and pretty to be a prostitute. In fact, most women of that profession in the old West looked haggard, unhealthy, and coarse in the photos he had seen of them.

1. So, so reviews
   Favorable reviews
2. They detested it
   None of the above

The film received positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of critics gave the film favorable reviews. And the Writers Guild of America ranked the screenplay number 11 on its list of 101 Greatest Screenplays ever written.

1. So, So
   They loved it
2. They hated it
   None of the above

The audience loved it. On a budget of $6 million, it earned $102.3 million at the box office. It was the top grossing film of the year. Adjusted for inflation, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ranks as the 34th top-grossing film of all time and the top 10 for its decade, due in part to subsequent rereleases.
