You're spending too much time on Etta Place, Charlie. We have other things to do.

Well, I'm not quitting. I said I'd get her.

I'm beginning to wonder just how important she is any more. A girl gone wrong out of love for a bad man. The man's dead now. What more can she do?

She has to pay for what she's already done.

Wanted: The Sundance Woman

TV sequel to &quot;Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid&quot;

For a TV sequel to the popular 1969 film, &quot;Wanted: The Sundance Woman&quot; ain&apos;t bad. It came out 8 years later and Katherine Ross still looks great with her inimitable winsome spirit.

THE PLOT: Butch and Sundance are long gone (dead in Bolivia) and Etta Place (Ross) is hiding out as a store clerk in Arizona. A burly detective is on her case and determined to find her (Steve Forrest). When the husband of the couple she was staying with is jailed for harboring a fugitive (Michael Constantine) Etta goes to revolutionary Pancho Villa for help (Hector Elizondo).

I wasn&apos;t expecting much from this TV movie; it&apos;s too talky, but it won me over. This can be attributed to Ross&apos; charm, a decent cast (also with Stella Stevens and Katherine Helmond), the Old Tucson locations, the team-up with Pancho Villa, quality train sequences and some solid writing with good subtext; for instance, the way Etta does good to her enemy and a character&apos;s realization that the criminal he made out to be a monster is not a monster at all.

The film runs 95 minutes.

GRADE B or 6.5/10

PS: There&apos;s another sequel to &quot;Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid&quot; called &quot;Blackthorn,&quot; released in 2011, starring Sam Shepherd as Butch Cassidy. The outlaw didn&apos;t die in that 1908 shootout in Bolivia and is living on a small ranch in the Bolivian wilderness in 1927 where he decides to go back to the USA to meet his son. It&apos;s a quality modern Western (see my review for details).
