[on
Bonnie et Clyde (1967)] I should say at once that, filmically, "Bonnie and Clyde" represents a high point in the directional work of
Arthur Penn; that it is exceedingly well-made; that it has an astonishingly good performance by
Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow . . . What is bothersome about the picture is that
David Newman and
Robert Benton, the writers, aren't able to make clear their own attitudes toward the two criminals.
