BONNIE AND CLYDE
April 17, 2014  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:30 p.m. ET

 

Arthur Penn directed this 1967 period bank-robbing film, one of the most influential movies of the Sixties. Warren Beatty plays Clyde Barrow, a small-time crook who hits the big time after teaming up with bored and bold Bonnie Parker, played in a star-making turn by Faye Dunaway. Bonnie wrote letters to newspapers about the duo’s bank-robbing exploits, and had pictures taken of them to commemorate their crime spree. Had there been reality TV in the Depression era, she would have starred in one.
