This was my first time reading a screenplay because it's something I've decided to study. I was so blown away by how much I loved it. The stage directions were witty and had a character which would make it an enjoyable read even if you've seen the movie (which I haven't) because it has a unique tone. The pace was quick and exciting with the comedy not taking away from that. The layout was interesting as they rolled the scenes together well and it had a lot more direction than screenplays I have read since. It was easy to imagine each scene and I'm intrigued to watch the film now and see how they align.

Best characterisation through dialogue I've ever read, I adore this story (and Butch and Sundance)
