| Elevator Pitch | During the depression years an ex-con meets an attractive young waitress, and when he produces a gun to impress her she dares him to use it, so he robbs a local shop and start the pair on the trail of murder and mayhem across the southern states. With the addition of a young mechanic and the ex-con’s brother and his wife they become “the Barrow gang”. As they become more notorious so the forces of law and order close in on them. It can’t end well. | ||
| Content | A lot of bank robberies, some successful, some not, and the resulting car chases across the landscape; three or four intensive shoot-outs with increasingly heavy armament. What appear to be an almost whimsical series of events gradually descend into a bloodbath. Just a bit of almost nudity and some sexual references, some drinking and smoking. | ||
| A View | This is a brilliantly constructed film, reflected in its many nominations and awards. Estelle Parsons won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Faye Dunaway, who had been a model, is stunning as the sexy and sexually frustrated Bonnie. I have made it an “Almost Must See”, so if you have missed it, search it out. You will be rewarded. | ||
