"They're young... they're in love... and they kill people." When Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) tries to steal Bonnie Parker's (Faye Dunaway) car, she's instantly smitten. What's a bored waitress to do but join her newfound love and his motley gang on a violent crime spree through Texas? At first a failure until it was embraced by countercultural critics like Pauline Kael, BONNIE AND CLYDE became a box office smash which launched the New Hollywood. Setting aside its startling violence (even by today's standards), the film is a brilliant look at how the Depression turned good people into common criminals and common criminals into heroes. Beatty and Dunaway have never been better, aided by a superb supporting cast that includes a very young Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons, who won Best Supporting Actress.
