TAGLINE: Cigar Smoking Hellcat of the Roaring Thirties
In the 1930s, amoral blonde tommy-gun girl Bonnie Parker cut a swath of bodies across the South-West. Starting out on gas stations and bars with side-kick Guy Darrow she graduated to bank hold-ups with Darrow's brother and, after bloodily springing him, her jailed husband. But there was never any doubt who was in charge.
I will give actress Dorothy Provine MAJOR CREDIT. She REALLY delivered on her portrayal of Bonnie. I think even far better than future actress portrayals. The film also shows how bored she was of her dull waitress job which is only mentioned in future films. She should have been nominated some kind of actress award for this one.
Most waitresses are horrible people cause they are basically just overglorified prostuts.
Well said and well put.
Bonnie and Guy... an entertaining movie !!!
The Time Warp with 50's music emerging from an early 30's Radio was Rich. 😁
That was very common in the 30s. The early vacuum tubes would somehow channel alternative timelines from both the past and present. Alas vacuum tubes are no more.
Good movie. Dorothy was the boss. All good things must end.
Really enjoying these Drive-In movies. They are so much better than movies of today!!
Thanks for watching!
This was the type of film produced for Saturday Matinees at the theatres. I don't recall anything like this at a Drive-In.
Fifties style rock in the 30s.amazing!
This was a very entertaining movie. Dorothy Provine dialogue was hilarious.
As Snaggle Puss would say, "Indubitably !"
Great film...for a rainy afternoon with nothing else to do...a good wine, something fun to smoke (party cigar?) and a good friend...makin' memories....drive in fun in your own living room...
Yes indeed!
@@robtw88 Bad acting, lamest of scripts, hair styles and clothing styles were 1958 not 1934. The whole chronology of the story was false..the true b and c were killed in may 1934 not june 1934. Just a whole lot of it was camp...but...i must say, i enjoyed every minute of it!
Excellent film. I enjoyed Dorothy Province's performance. I feel she was also one of the great underated actresses of her time.
If you like over-acting.
Loosely followed the true story. To really enjoy the movie, forget it's supposed to be about the real Bonnie and Clyde and just watch it as a good gangster flick. Love the cars.
Loved this this woman played a great part.I have never seen this actress before but she was great in this.
That's Dorothy Provine...a very early role! She went on to star in her own series for Warner Bros. and was in some classic 1960s movies like That Darn Cat and The Great Race!
Great Film......Well done.......Great acting..........Great cast..........This is what you call gangster...........Classic status..................Patrick.
Dorothy Provine made this one worth an hour and 17 minutes. I'll watch it again just to see her. Tarantino praised the director to high heaven. Said he was the greatest action director of them all. Not a bad bad movie. Not bad at all.
wow... he finds 1950s rock and roll on the radio 50:33
Right?!
That's what makes this a great film!
And wearing Sideburns too.
"Slip me some skin, Daddy-O!"
In the great Hollywood tradition of never following accurate historic fact nor detail. Great fun no less.
MARK SUITS SAME AS THE ONE BEATTY AND FAYE MADE...... THAT WAS A FAIRY TAIL ALSO.....
Bonnie and "Clyde" (but not named "Clyde") with then-contemporary 1950's fashions and a rock n' roll soundtrack(?!)
1:10:00 tires squeeling on a dirt road, the Hollywood style.
Lovely❤❤❤ this version definitely was used as one of the influences of the 1967 BONNIE &CLYDE Warner Bros. blockbuster.dorothy provine makes a frightening bonnie parker.
Happy to find Jack Hogan flicks in your listings, Rob W.
Fun B Movie 🎥 1950s portrayal of the 1930s with 1950 costumes and music lol. Bonnie was a psychopath in this film.
Good evening Mr. Darrow. Good evening Lloyd. Slow night isn't it
the introductory music is 1950's R&B, w/ some R & R and blues thrown in. ahead of B&C's time. Les Paul had already invented electric guitar. even the bluegrass in 'BONNIE & CLYDE'('67) is 15 years ahead of the mid-early '30's.
As gun-toting gangster Bonnie Parker, Dorothy Provine is more than a match for the authorities in this semi-documentary crime drama.
All you have to do is change one guy's name and it's the story of Bonnie & Clyde from an alternate universe.
I remember her in the show "The Roaring 20's"
Excellent quality!
I was a bit worried at first when I saw the small screen in the first few seconds!
4:55 "There was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead ... and when she was 'good' she was very very good, and when she was 'bad' she was horrid".
Love it! Thank you
Bonnie & Clyde, the made up story.The real Bonnie and Clyde were gunned down on May 23rd 1934. Incidentally my date of birth is 5 /23/1960..More strange facts: Capt. Kidd was hung in England on 5/23/1701.
Rock n Roll music, 1930's style.
2.58 cents for gas!! .1930's a lot of money.
Burning out in a flivver.!!!!!!. Hear those bike style tires squeal!!!.
Funny way of counting the money! Great movie.
Ah yes. The little known story of Bonnie's time with Guy Darrow in the years before she met Clyde Barrow. Riveting!
Well, THAT'S not how Bonnie Parker went ......... the car didn't turn over, nor were the lawmen shooting from around a building's corner!!!!
For the time period being in the early 1930's it was interesting that the background music was rock and roll. 50 minutes into the movie. Electric guitars were not in the 1930s
Actually, the first electric guitar was invented in 1931. It was the Rickenbacker Hawaiian Steel Pan (lap) guitar. But yeah, the Rock 'n roll music is totally wrong.
@@DoubleMrE So's the Charleston on the radio.
Dude....It's an American International artistic license kinna flick...get with the scene, man!?
@@buxombeautease Introduced to America and the world in the mid 1920s, the Charleston remained an instant classic, intermittently replayed then through today, and as a dance it was the basis for many popular dances that followed, for example the Jitterbug, Twist, Mashed Potatoes, Bird, ad astra.
My great great grandma knew them
Good flick. Kudos to Dorothy.
Does anyone notice how much Dorothy Province looks like Jayne Mansfield? The movie and the actual events are polar opposites but Miss Provine keeps your attention. Hard to believe she played Milton Berles wife in " It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World ".
Jack Hogan from the TV series Combat! He played Kirby!
Kirby, take the point
Their end was full of holes...
Thanks for posting. Dorothy provine had quite a career was in Lou Costello final film 50 ft bride of candy Rock it's a mad mad world who's minding the mint. That darn cat as well as a series were she played a night club singer the roaring 20s
commas...they are your friend.
She toned down her act in MINDING THE MINT and MAD MAD WORLD. Yep that's her thanks for the cast details.
41:13 The ole throw the jacket in the creek to throw the hounds off the scent trick!
Her shoes, her clothes and hairstyle all say 1950s, but the movie is set in the 1930s. Lol. Anachronisms.
Quentin Tarantino adores this movie. That's good enough for me!
Thanks, but I'll make up my own mind. This is pure, unadulterated bullshit.
@@orvilleh.larson7581 I thought it was great!
I thought Bonnie's partner was Clyde?
They lied 😅🤣🤣
Not even close but entertaining none the less
A good un-Factional story. Filled with untruths! This is not how Bonnie was, The Producers knew it that's why they didn't use Clyde or Bucks real names. Good movie, just untrue!
If it's unfactional, then it must mean there are no factions.
Great fun! 'Bonnie' certainly knew how to treat guys😂. One heck of a way to cure boredom.
Can anyone recommend a really good book telling the true story? I first heard about Bonnie and Clyde at boarding school and the song about them came out. She's fascinated me ever since.
Fugitives is the best one - by Bonnie's mother and Clyde's sister, it came out within a year of them being murdered in '33.
Year late but hopefully this helps. Blanche Barrow whom was married to Buck Barrow as well as losing an eye as well as a stint in prison told her story and was printed as well. Its the most recent one I read on the case when I was looking for another book to read about em as well. Also Public Enemies about the formation of the FBI is a good one about this era and it's bank robbers as well.
If you're still looking for some reading material I recommend Go Down Together by Jeff Guinn and The Strange History of Bonnie and Clyde by John Treherne
This movie is complete utter nonsense. Ever heard of "Fake News"? This is a "Fake Movie."
This was Dorothy Provine's film debut.......
Except maybe for the names, this is a total fiction.
The names were mostly fiction...what’s with the Guy Darrow stuff?
So was the Irving Penn-Warren Beatty version.
This movie shows what ruthless killers
They were
It's for real there used to be lots of wild women... but women's lib and feminism have put an end to that wonderful time.
:)
One problem with the actress is, Bonnie Parker wasn’t voluptuous. She was 4’10” tall and weighed 89 lbs.
This was a far better movie about "Bonnie Parker".
Set in the 1930s but with 50s fashions and music, Bonnie's sidekick even tries to play a bit of be-bop saxophone at one point. Not historically accurate either. Still, it was enjoyable in its own B movie way.
Bonny and Guy ?
Kirby from Combat TV series.
Rock n roll music in the 1930s? Those leather jacket styles were not designed at that time. Obviously, this will be worse than a B rated movie.
The Bonnie Parker Gang LOL
Funny how the real Bonnie was much plainer and a dark blonde plus she was very thin.
Thanks for posting.Would you consider posting in the original aspect ratio ?
couldn't watch it to the end... The movie sure cut out the use of Ford Model A's. Clyde wrote a letter to Henry Ford telling Mr Ford " Whenever I skin a car, it is a V-8 Ford." Henry Ford kept that letter on his office wall
" Bonnie Parker--the blonde tommy-gun girl "
GUY GARROW???
Guy Darrow?wow I guess typical Hollywood
Always renaming historical figures
Correction Jim Mitchum is the son of Robert Mitchum.
Brother
I laugh at some of the previous comments. How can you disrespect psychotic murderers and penny- ante robbers?
😂
Guy Barrow.... Bonnie Parker Gang leader; pre-feminist, feminist version. 50s, R&B intro, exit, and throughout. This film has it all - wrong. But it's still a good Saturday Matinee, which is what this kind of film was made for in the 50s. The music score is actually pretty good.
Big Ass Theatre Presents...
Bonnie and Guy...and Duke
Starring Dorothy "Feminine Hygiene" Provine
And Introducing Stanley "Chip from My Three Sons" Livingston and Sydney "Mr. Cheswick from Cuckoo's Nest" Lassick
How this wasn't awarded hardware remains a mystery.
Maybe better than the modern Bonnie and Clyde movie.
Jack Hogan. " Combat "
I think they messed up on this one. Bullet bras weren't around in 1932.
Is this the alternate universe Bonnie Parker movie? And how did Dorothy Provine's career survive this performance?
It didn't
They couldnt even get date before they were killed correct. Athens June 1934. They were killed in May 1934. (SPOILER ALERT) They were NOT killed in a car crash.
This is good but I prefer the 1967 film with Warren Beatty & Faye Dunaway.

Very far from truth. Real Bonnie no DD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A very well done film all around.Excellent direction. Awesome actors. Great locations. Superb cinematography. Kept me watching with great interest. Thank you very much for posting this excellent film. The only problem had to do with a bit of music which sounded like it came from the 1950s, which seemed odd for a film set in 1933. I had this same issue with a more recent film which was set in Paris in the late 19th Century but the music was contemporary. The disconnect for was such that I could only. watch that film for about five minutes. Le Moulin Rouge was the setting. First Knight also has this problem. I don't get that. Why does a film maker not use the music of the time in which the film is set. I would love to see a Roman history film for example with recreations of what their music would have sounded like. Just like when I go to a Chinese restaurant to eat, I want to hear Chinese music not top 40 stuff which includes hip hop and crap, er, sorry, rap. I guess I'm just strange that way. Most folks are not bothered by that disconnect it seems. However, don't. let this tiny music bit stop you from watching this film. It is very entertaining and it shows that ultimately Karma is a bitch.
No, I get it. What drove me over the edge was the 50s hair styles and the 50s music. I didn't mind that the story was total baloney but you've got to draw the line somewhere.
In Weaverville , California went in a Chinese restaurant not happy to listen the country music as I eat my food. never went there again. Country music and Chinese food bah. In Arcata, Cal went to Chinese restaurant and recognized Sun Yah Zi music was happy was a cd of hers. So went to register said cool Yan Zi you know her music said yes is one of my favorite artist beside Faye Wong. Went into Japanese restaurant in Klamath Falls,Or said to the waitress cool Utada Hikaru cool one of music favorite Japanese artist you listen to her said yes do and Korean pop also. She smile went in kitchen said to a cook Utada Hikaru I heard no other words. Here in same city where live Wong's they play a local station because have had complaints they can't understand Chinese music heck not me either. It don't mean I don't like great music heck some of the ladies mentioned are well stinking rich. VERY mostly one lady from New York but she worked hard and still does Utada. yes to hear music of the period in movies is good. Have not hit play yet. I'll try to ignore it like I try to when go to Wong's and hear a local radio station. Hitomi Le Rose out and read a commit on the small screen also I to was concerned and tried find another version was happy when got bigger. hum fine 50's rock and roll right NOT! (Madonna) fine will try try to enjoy it got as far as her stockings hope they kill the music soon. I got music on the shelf that would work better than this fifties stuff would love on 78's yes am going 50's rock bah humbug! in Bonnie Parker story errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 02:16 06/04/2020
I can smell the popcorn!
Totally inaccurate historically, but somewhat entertaining none the less 😂
Good movie. The ending could have been better. They must have had mivie rights to the real story cause they worked around the truth in alot of ways. Thanks for putting it on CZcams.
Where was Clyde?
Why did they call him Guy?
Not at all accurate, but you know that already.
Neither is the other one .
S B
I know, right? This is one of the worst portrayals I’ve ever seen. Nothing in this movie is correct or accurate. Bonnie was nothing like this. Nothing.
Haha I was about to make the same comment. Enjoyable film, but wildly inaccurate.
@@olive6405 But more so, than this one.
This is not how it ended at all.
A bad beatnik sad Film. Terrible, That’s why I watched it till the end.
This movie was made for the fifties T&A crowd at the late night drive-in.😛👄🚬
Bonnie was a blonde a strawberry blonde
I want to be just like them when I grow up.
...21.49,a dreaded tatoo...
Yeah, I enjoyed, however, it was the worst portrayal I've ever seen.
Joe Turkel!
The best version of the Barrow gang
Um, no. Maybe the best one about the 'Darrow' gang though. 😃
This is the Connie Barker Story. She looks and acts nothing like Bonnie Parker, he looks like Lester Gillis, and absolutely nothing about this story is historically accurate.
Was a different story...
Armored car heist: SORRY, but Gasoline does not operate (Burn) like that. Those fumes from the gas on those shirts would have lingered near the ground and blown sky high when she lit the first match. Sure in need of a commonsense technical adviser on that one.
The mind set and the age group, kept their eyes on Dorothy Provine, they didn't care about, historical accuracy, action and titillation.🚬👄😎🎥
What a rough and tough woman / born to be bad , huh ?
This film was based on the movie natural born killers with Woody harelson.
As well as Badlands.
It's said in publication Bonnie and Clyde came through Arab al drinking their run from the law ,,,wow small world
Damn, Bonnie Parker .
Total B.S.!! And WTF is Guy Darrow? Dorothy Provine is a pretty fair actress but she's too statuesque to play tiny, little Bonnie Parker.
Bonnie and Guy Fawkes 😂😂😂😂😂🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🎇🎃
What a cheap and incorrect version of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Bonnie was passionately in love with Clyde, and he in love with her. The same goes for Blanche and Buck, Clyde’s brother, they were deeply in love as well.
This crappy cheap movie makes Bonnie look like a hardened control freak, and Clyde like a wussy wrapped around her finger. In the first place, Bonnie was not blonde, nor was she curvy or attractive. And Clyde was very thin.
I’m not trying to be mean, but this is the very worst portrayal of Bonnie and Clyde that I have ever seen. Hands down.
Jesus is Lord of all Every knee shall bow Yet you watched it my friend. 😱🏃🏃🏃😵 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Terrible movie.
This Bonnie is a tough cookie but very sensual!
