I’m not too sure about ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ changing cinema.
IMO that film and others glamorized criminals to a certain extent but in the end Good Conquered Evil.
To my mind, not being an ardent movie goer, the movie that portrayed bad guys as lovable, funny, justifiable is Pulp Fiction.
White Heat didn't glamorize crime. It portrayed Cagney's Cody Jarrett character as a vicious psychopath nutcase mama's boy who enjoyed killing.
Well, except for Virginia Mayo, who's legs could glamorize anything.
If this is all his writing, it looks like “The Sicilian” is another book about the Corleones - Michael.
I saw B&C in a little theater in Terre Haute Indiana. I was picking my sister up from Purdue. Just killing time, went to the show. I had no idea what the movie was about.
NO EXPECTATIONS!
I thought it was a GREAT movie! As history has PROVED.
“Dirt in the fuel line, just blowed it away”. I still use that line to this day.
How anyone can say it was a “lousy” movie, is beyond me.
Historical? Sort of, but it was a MOVIE, not a documentary.
...vs a vicious homosexual psychopath who enjoyed killing.
I forgot about that one. So did the rest of the world. Hehe
Little Bohemia Lodge in Wisconsin. Still in business as a restaurant.
Funny movie!!!
Little Big Man.
Did you know that ‘Little Big Man’ and ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ were both directed by Arthur Penn when you brought up the former?
