The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde was directed by Arthur Penn and produced by Warren Beatty. This is a fast paced film that tells the true story of Bonnie Parker (played by Faye Dunaway) and Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty). This couple would travel the central part of the country to rob banks during the Great Depression.
This film begins with Clyde attempting to steal a car that belongs to Bonnie's mother. Bonnie catches Clyde in the act, and the two of them strike up a conversation. Bonnie agrees to be Clyde's partner in crime, mainly because she is bored with her job as a waitress. The two of them pull off some local bank jobs. Soon the couple meets a gas station attendant named C.W. Moss, who they persuade to join them in their escapades. The couple is also joined by Clyde's brother, Buck, and his wife, Blanche. The five of them travel throughout the central part of the country to rob banks, with each job being more exciting than the previous one. However, a Texas ranger named Frank Hamer is determined to stop the couple by any means necessary.
Overall, I liked this film a lot. I thought that it was very suspenseful and an overall good film. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in seeing a good thriller.
