Made in 1967, and directed by Arthur Penn, this romanticized biography of the Depression-era bank robbers made a movie star and fashion icon of Faye Dunaway, and propelled Warren Beatty – who produced as well as starred – into the top tier of moviemakers given clout to do what he wished. It’s an exciting, clever film, with a terrific supporting cast (Gene Hackman wasn’t a star yet, but commands attention here, as do Estelle Parsons and Michael J. Pollard), an infamous ending, and some great music and photography throughout.
