the bonnie parker story (1958)


"Look mister you can anything you want."
Bonnie Parker (Dorothy Provine), can only get dead end jobs, as she is married to an notorious armed robber. But she is a wild cat, who cannot stay out of trouble and hooks up with Guy Darrow (Jack Hogan) and starts a career of armed robbery. When they make a name for themselves as real desperadoes Tom Steel, a Texas Ranger (Douglas Kennedy) is assigned to track them and bring them in.
This biopic of Bonnie and Clyde proves to be a thrill a minute journey, as we follow the pair to their inevitable end. For some reason Clyde Barrow is Guy Darrow here, but this doesn't detract, and Provine is a suitable mix of aggression and sex.
