description: Based on the true-life exploits of the 1930s Barrow gang, Bonnie &amp; Clyde is not only one of the most entertaining films in Hollywood's history, but also one of the most influential. The 'cool violence' - combining stylized carnage with humour - which typifies the cinema of the 1990s, was first seen here. Inspired by the French nouvelle vague , Newman and Benton took on the characteristically American story of gangsters on the run and created a myth of enduring power, as well as transforming the members of the Barrow gang into creatures ennobled by their vulnerability.This edition contains a wealth of supplementary material, including articles by producer/star Warren Beatty, director Arthur Penn and uncredited writer Robert Towne.
