From airplane to starship...

Call me a traditionalist. I prefer Butch and Sundance to Billy and 
Wyatt.
Slim Pickens = Billy, Henry Green = Wyatt? I'm not familiar with Green.
Terry Southern- unique.

I seem to recall Crosby saying once that his relationship with McGuinn 
was the model
for the relationship between Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in Easy 
Rider although,
as the screenplay was written by (wasn't it?) Terry Southern, more 
likely the models
were Henry Green and Slim Pickens.
