Cops and robbers. The rest is too deep.

Hi, showme_the_Glory:

Never thought much of “Bonnie & Clyde”. Depression-era lead slinging desprados meets French New Wave was a curiosity, Though I did like Gene Hackman’s supporting role as Clyde’s brother Buck and the massive ambush at the film’s end.

What’s interesting, is that French New Wave films were highly influenced by thousands of American B-Movies that were sent across the pond to Europe. Thus creating recycled garbage.

The only film I can think of that could have been influenced by “Bonnie & Clyde” would be Robert Altman’s “McCabe & Mrs. Miller”. Which isn’t saying all that much.

Jack.
