Paul Newman and Robert Redford on the set of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” which won Academy Awards for Cinematography, Music (Original Score – for a motion picture, not a musical; and Song – Original for the Picture) and Writing (Story and Screenplay) in 1969.

Here’s the trailer for the film:

 

The Fox Archives is mandated to collect, catalog, preserve and make accessible the following assets of the 20th Century Fox studios: props, set decoration, photographs, art department and publicity materials from our film and television productions, and from the 20th Century Fox studio itself. We work primarily with internal Fox groups but also from time to time with outside organizations such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.
