Expodition: Up close with Warren Beatty
Broadcast Date: Aug. 10, 1967
For film audiences of 1967, there's something audacious about a movie that combines slapstick comedy and blood-soaked violence. Since its premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival, Bonnie and Clyde has caused a sensation – drawing ovations from its opening-night audience and disgust from established film critics. In this segment, producer Warren Beatty tells Expodition: "I feel the violence in Bonnie and Clyde is the way it happened. I know it's the way it happened."Expodition: Up close with Warren Beatty
• Bonnie and Clyde was Warren Beatty's first film as a producer, though he was already a well-known actor at the time.• Critic Bosley Crowther of the New York Times hated the film and launched a campaign against it, but the movie would go on to earn 10 Academy Award nominations. Bonnie and Clyde has since been hailed as one of the greatest American movies of all time, placing 27th on a 1998 list compiled by the American Film Institute.
