“We do not own this place, we are just passengers”
– Robert Redford

Robert Redford made 2 notable Westerns – both now considered
Western Classics: Jeremiah Johnson (1972)
and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969).
A fistful of others ride the fringe.

I always challenged Redford‘s casting as Jeremiah Johnson.
He didn’t look like the Johnson at all, in either in stature or appearance.

But this wasn’t a documentary.
And Director Sydney Pollock (who Directed Redford in 7 Films)
knew that Redford‘s Star Power would guarantee success.
It did.
All in all, Redford did a great job and this is a great Western
that I watched several times.
