Producer/star Warren Beatty had to convince Warner Bros. to finance this film, which went on to become the studio's second-highest grosser. It also caused major controversy by redefining violence in cinema and casting its criminal protagonists as sympathetic anti-heroes. Based loosely on the true exploits of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker during the 30s, the film begins as Clyde (Beatty) tries to steal the car of Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway)'s mother. Bonnie is excited by Clyde's outlaw demeanor, and he further stimulates her by robbing a store in her presence. Clyde steals a car, with Bonnie in tow, and their legendary crime spree begins. The two move from town to town, pulling off small heists, until they join up with Clyde's brother Buck (Gene Hackman), his shrill wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons), and a slow-witted gas station attendant named C.W. Moss (Michael J. Pollard). The new gang robs a bank and Clyde is soon painted in the press as a Depression-era Robin Hood when he allows one bank customer to hold onto his money. Soon the police are on the gang's trail and they are constantly on the run, even kidnapping a Texas Ranger (Denver Pyle) and setting him adrift on a raft, handcuffed, after he spits in Bonnie's face when she kisses him. That same ranger leads a later raid on the gang that leaves Buck dying, Blanche captured, and both Clyde and Bonnie injured. The ever-loyal C.W. takes them to his father's house. C.W.'s father disaproves his son's affiliation with gangsters and enters a plea bargain with the Texas Rangers. A trap is set that ends in one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history. The film made stars out of Beatty and Dunaway, and it also featured the screen debut of Gene Wilder as a mortician briefly captured by the gang. Its portrayal of Bonnie and Clyde as rebels who empathized with the poor working folks of the 1930s struck a chord with the counterculture of the 1960s and helped generate a new, young audience for American movies that carried over into Hollywood's renewal of the 1970s. Its combination of sex and violence with dynamic stars, social relevance, a traditional Hollywood genre, and an appeal to hip young audiences set the pace for many American movies to come. ~ Don Kaye, RoviIf You Like this movie you can streaming Bonnie and Clyde movie without downloading HERE

New Trailer For Bonnie and Clyde
Review For Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde don't really know that killing kills. The film does -- unlike the run of movies about violence now, which mostly know that killing sells.Penelope Gilliatt-New Yorker
Bonnie and Clyde is the most excitingly American American movie since The Manchurian Candidate. The audience is alive to it.
Pauline Kael-New Yorker
Considered New Hollywood's moment of arrival, tipping square critic Bosley Crowther into retirement (The New York Times, they were a-changin').
Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice
Like Bonnie and Clyde themselves, the film rides off in all directions and ends up full of holes.
-TIME Magazine
It's by far the least controlled of Penn's films... but the pieces work wonderfully well, propelled by what was then a very original acting style.
Dave Kehr-Chicago Reader
This inconsistency of direction is the most obvious fault of Bonnie and Clyde, which has some good ingredients, although they are not meshed together well.
Dave Kaufman-Variety
Goes overboard in its homage to a vicious team of bank robbers and killers.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty deliver pitch perfect performances as Bonnie and Clyde, with characterisations that are layered and engaging. Beatty's bravado is infectious, and Dunaway's abandon is life affirming - if doomed.
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
Those returning to Bonnie and Clyde with this well-deserved special edition could well be shocked by how, well, shocking it is.
Chris Barsanti-PopMatters
Stylistically, Arthur Penn's crime epic doesn't do anything that hadn't already been seen in any number of runty, skuzzy teen epics, all of which firmly established the paragons of good (i.e. "The Law") as being the new antagonists.
Eric Henderson-Slant Magazine
A bona fide landmark in American film, Bonnie and Clyde stands the test of time the same way its protagonists did: by breaking all the rules. [Blu-Ray]
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
In spite of the technological advances of film in the modern age, the blood soaked finale remains one of the most extraordinarily shot closers ever filmed...
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
Modern crime classic directed by Arthur Penn w/Beatty, Dunaway
Steve Crum-Video-Reviewmaster.com
Funny and violent, knowing and chilling, this is the template that no lovers-on-the-lam movies has ever bettered.
Jessica Mellor-Empire Magazine
Proof that the 1960s ended with a bang. For many, the film of the decade.
-Film4
...whizzes by in a compact 111 minutes, while carrying an image of people and places that is hard to forget.
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
Beatty's slo-mo rolling across the gravel, a muzzle flashing in his hand, is more real to us than Clyde slumped behind the wheel, dead before he realized he was ambushed
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Arguably the most influential (but not best) film of the late 60s, Arthur Penn's saga changed the course of American cinema, particularly in the controversial areas of sex and violence and the link between them.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Freed from the production code that drove most of the old Warner Brothers gangster films of the 1930s and 40s, Arthur Penn gave Bonnie and Clyde a new kind of thrilling glee.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
Dated in some ways, still shocking and powerful in others.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
