Bonnie and Clyde (movie)
Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is a film about the couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who roamed the United States' Southwest robbing banks during the Great Depression. The couple is eventually ambushed and killed by the police, as in real life. The film was directed by Arthur Penn[?] and starred Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow and Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker. The screenplay was written by David Newman[?] and Robert Benton[?], with Robert Towne doing some uncredited work.On its release, the film was extremely controversial for its unprecedented violence--an honor which has since gone on to Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, and then to other, even more graphically violent (but largely forgotten) films. Bonnie and Clyde was innovative in its character's gunshots--the "squibs" commonly used today, where a charge causes a small bag of red liquid to explode out of the clothes, were invented for the movie.
Estelle Parsons[?] won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film, and Burnett Guffey[?] won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography for his work in the film. The film is #27 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Movies, #13 on its list of 100 American thrillers, and #65 on its list of 100 American romances. The film has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

When he first saw the red flowers glowing upon her grave, he buried

Little did he dream, at these times, that Jan and Mélisse were to

At last, his gaunt frame thinned by sleepless nights and days of
Churchill, and early in August he left for the bay.
Upon Jan now fell a great responsibility. Mélisse was his.
