Arthur Penn’s 1967 biographical crime drama “Bonnie and Clyde” is considered a landmark in the history of American cinema which announced the arrival of the New Hollywood era. This daring picture denounced many cinematic taboos and was particularly noticed for its liberal display of sex and violence. It tells the tale of real life criminals Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) and Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty). Bonnie meets Clyde in 1916, at the peak of the Great Depression, when he tries to steal her mother’s car. Fed up with her boring everyday life and her waitressing job, Bonnie impulsively decides to join Clyde and become his partner in crime. They begin with small time holdups, but things escalate more lucratively and much more violently when they team up with C.W. Moss (Michael J. Pollard), a not too bright gas station attendant, Clyde’s brother Buck (Gene Hackman) and his ever nervous wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons). The gang moves on to robbing banks, and becomes a police priority after they kill a bank manager. Jumpy Blanche is highly disapproving of her husband’s endeavors, but she stays with them. The gang is located by the police, and in the ensuing shootout Buck is killed and Blanche wounded and arrested. Bonnie, Clyde and C.W manage to escape and hide in the house of C.W.’s father, but incarcerated Blanche spills the beans and reveals C.W.’s identity. C.W.’s concerned father arranges a police ambush in exchange for leniency towards his son, which sets up the final deadly shootout.
