Bonnie and Clyde (Bonnie and Clyde, USA 1967) OF ARTHUR PENN
was WARREN BEATTY to want to produce the epic story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in the mid-sixties: he thought the film had to be black and black, and the hero being played by BOB DYLAN , which was very physically resembling the original. But Warner Bros. wanted the film was in color, and Dylan was not contacted, because Beatty decided that he would be banned to play the Clyde. While, with regard to the choice of the actress Bonnie, producer-star Natalie Wood contacted , which, however, was following a very delicate psychoanalytic therapy: more, despite the good business relationship with the star with whom he had worked in "Splendor in the Grass" , preferred not to return to work with. JANE FONDA , interviewed for the part, declined because he had moved to Europe, and would not return for the time being in the Uniti.Dopo having examined other candidates such as Ann-Margret, Tuesday Weld, Cher, Carol Linley Sue Lyon and : although considered too high and a bit too much flesh in order to remember the real Bonnie Parker, was chosen the young Faye Dunaway . The first choice for director Francois Truffaut was , who declared himself deeply interested in the project, but had the opportunity to turn "FAHRENHEIT 451" , the book by Ray Bradbury that he loved very much, and so he let it go At that point, was considered JEAN-LUC GODARD. Here are two versions: the first is that Godard refused to have anything to do with a Hollywood production, the other is that the Swiss director proposed a reinterpretation of the myth, set in Japan, and the two characters turned into teen- agers, an idea quashed by the production. was then chosen ARTHUR PENN strongly Beatty wanted to, just back from the drama with many important players "HUNTING" : Penn agreed, but would require some changes to the script, for example, rather than emphasize the impotence of the Barrow bisessualità.Inoltre instead, fascinated by the cinema AKIRA KUROSAWA , the director used a lot for the slow motion action scenes. The screenplay by Robert Benton was inspired by stories of his father, who had attended the funeral of Bonnie and Clyde that: he put his hand, not accredited, even Robert Towne. However, French influence was felt: compared to conventional mounting U.S., there are numerous accelerations and changes of pace and tono.Penn said later that it was the first American film in which you could see the effect of the shots on the bodies that were affected, with its appearance in blood. GENE HACKMAN a day on the set saw a guy staring at him constantly, and then called out "Hey, devil, Buck would never put a hat like that!" The actor looked at the man and said, "Maybe not." The other came forward and held out his hand saying, "Nice to meet you, are one of Barrow." Warner, after all, had a modest confidence in the fortunes of the film, so to be granted to Warren Beatty forty percent of revenue provided a small contribution to the production Executive: the film grossed more than $ 50 million, and for a short time was the second ever collection of major, just after "MY FAIR LADY" . Beatty, in an interview said that in the scene where his character died, he was made a top-knot, which was to fly off its fall under the blows of police, to give the illusion of a nearly decapitated, and Dunaway confirmed that they were rigged to make it very bloody scene finale.Roger Ebert, the critic was only six months when reviewed this movie, be defined as an absolute masterpiece, another famous reviewer, Joseph Morgenstern, killed him badly, then retracing his steps . MICHAEL J. POLLARD , recently a professional actor, he had not realized that during the scenes in which they are included lunches and dinners, you should eat as little as possible to the high possibility that a sequence will be turned over several times during the scene where the bandits kidnapped a couple and eat in the car, he felt ill, having eaten at the end of shooting as many as 12 burgers. It was the screen debut for GENE WILDER .
