the girl

I finally watched "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" for the first time and aside from the charismatic and loose performances from the film's two male leads, the real story of the film is Katharine Ross as the Jeanne Moreau ideal in their "Jules and Jim"-esque semi-love triangle. Soft, doe eyed, and smart, she's the babe and yet she knows exactly what she wants and doesn't go along for the ride just for the boys, but as a lark for herself. I mean, wouldn't we all want to ride on a bike with her on some sunny prairie?
