Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is one of the sixties' most talked about, comedy volatile, controversial crime / gangster movies combined, terror, love and ferocious violence. It was produced by Warner Bros. - the studio responsible for the gangster films in the 1930s, and it seems appropriate that this innovation, the film romanticized revisionist and redefined the gangster genre crime / and the portrayal of violence in screen forever.

Its producer, 28, Warren Beatty, was also his role as star Clyde Barrow and his co-star Bonnie Parker, a newcomer Faye Dunaway became an actress because of her major breakthrough in this influential film. Similarly, unknown Gene Hackman has been recognized as a solid actor and then to play many important roles (his major role was in the French Connection (1971)).

The story of rise and fall of self-harm as Clyde gangster anti-authoritarian criminal is well documented. Both figures illustrate the tragic outlaw "innocent people on the go" who cling to each other and try to operate as a family. The film, with many conflicting moods and changes in tone (serious humor), is a cross between a gangster film, traditions and tragic romance, a road movie and the movie with friends, and screwball comedy . It illustrates several features of experimental film-making of the French New Wave (Nouvelle Vague) movement. [Originally the film was being directed by Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, who withdrew and made Fahrenheit 451 (1966) instead.] Displays the main movie on the infamous couple romanticized violence and proclaimed: "They are young ... they are in love ... and they kill people."
