A US three-sheet for Arthur Penn's violent gangster biopic of the infamous Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) and Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway). The huge success of the film helped launch the careers of everyone involved particularly Beatty who, instead of a fee, took 40% of the gross. The movie made $70 million which was a massive sum at the time.

"Bonnie and Clyde" emerged as a pioneering film in its era, showcasing an exceptionally violent narrative that challenged the cinematic norms of 1967. It stood as one of the first films, if not the inaugural one, to portray violence in such an unfiltered and realistic fashion, marking a significant shift from conventional cinematic representations.
