Episode 2: Bonnie & Clyde

Arthur Penn’s 1967 film adaptation is arguably the most notable incarnation of Bonnie & Clyde’s story. It takes its viewer alongside the couple, played by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty respectively, from their first meeting to their gruesome death. They gleefully rob banks, steal cars, and kill people. But, they’re also weighed down by the bleakness of the Depression, the realities of life on the run, and their dawning awareness of their own mortality.
