The Movie: Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
What Is It?: Arthur
Penn skips backward forty years to tell the tale of a pair of smooching bank
robbers and jolts Hollywood movie violence into the future. Perhaps the most
charmingly non-dated countercultural movie of the sixties. The supporting cast
is divine.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1934, Bonnie Parker and
Clyde Barrow are mowed down by the dirty coppers.
