BONNIE AND CLYDE & DOG DAY AFTERNOON
February 8, 2019  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 12:45 a.m. ET

 

Last Friday, I thought TCM had outdone itself by presenting two of my absolute favorite films of the 1970s, The French Connection and Taxi Driver, as a midnight Friday double feature. Tonight, TCM is freaking me out again, by doing a late-night double bill of two more of my favorite dramas from that generation – 1967’s Bonnie and Clyde at 12:45 a.m. ET, followed at 2:45 a.m. ET by 1975’s Dog Day Afternoon. Brilliant direction, and brilliant performances, in both films, led by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the former, and Al Pacino and John Cazale in the latter. And Gene Hackman, who starred last week in The French Connections, has a key supporting role tonight in Bonnie and Clyde.
