Bonnie&Clyde-01: Bonnie (Faye Dunaway) and Clyde (Warren Beatty) Bedroom scene

Bonnie and Clyde (1967) was one of the most famous, and groundbreaking, films in cinematic history. Written by David Newman and Robert Benton, directed by Arhtur Penn this movie by first time producer and lead actor Warren Beatty is the first to graphically show the effects of (gun) violence. In earlier movies, the violence might have been more present in quantity, but the effects were always curiously sanitized: people died of gunshot wounds with hardly a drop of blood spilled. B&C showed the ugliness of such violent deaths but was also a radical change from movie making up until that point in that the villains were also the heroes. Although historically flawed, like many movies based on real people and events, the viewer is taken on the wild ride and warped moral views of the Barrow gang.
This movie made Warren Beatty one of the most powerful and influential names in cinematic history. Faye Dunaway (Bonnie) is playing the part she will be remembered for by most. Gene Hackman, Michael J. Pollard and Estelle Parsons are solid in their supporting roles. Gene Wilder's movie debut.
In this scene Bonnie & Clyde try to make love after one of their more violent bank robberies.

@hurlinboy

Those are false rumors. On the special edition DVD of B&C, Robert Benton tells the true story about how, back in the sixties, they had to compromise: it was either the violence or the sexual thing that would make it into the movie. Beatty didn't mind the sexual thing, but in order to get the favorable (= box-office) rating it was easier to get the violence in. Leo Penn, Beatty and the writers then chose to keep the violence in and only hint at the sexual factor.

@BEATTY001 Arthur Penn. Leo was Sean's dad.

@scottmanduzy

No, Sean Penn;'s dad was director Leo Penn, no relation to Arthur Penn.

Leo was the father of Sean, Chris (deceased) and Michael Penn.

Hilary Duff's acting skill is High School Drama class at best, and she was only the Miley Cyrus of her day... "The IT girl of the moment". Faye Dunaway's reaction to the casting of Duff is only appropriate. Picking Hilary Duff as Faye Dunaway's successor is an EPIC downgrade of talent.

I don't know what the hell the director was smoking when she EXCLUSIVELY OFFERED the role to Hilary Duff. What the fuck? The movie is gonna be like "Lizzie Maguire The Movie Part 2: Lizzie Robs Banks!"

And if you didn't already know. You do now. Faye Dunaway is a sex symbol.

I guess Clyde could use some Viagra in this scene!

[TheEmsann]

Clyde was not gay.

Ofcourse if you get raped,then later in life you have hard to have sex.

I mean you just dont stop thinking of it.

So dont say that he is gay.

Becouse he wasnt

[Lovebohemianlife]

No matter he's supposed to be impotent, I'd like to make love with him haha

[Lovebohemianlife]

@jlalewicz thanks again

[jlalewicz]

@assia735 Let me try to explain better for you to understand, sorry. Bonnie thinks Clyde doesn't like her but it is a historical fact that Clyde Barrow, had 'difficulties' being intimate probably because when he was serving a prison term he was raped by another inmate & that caused psychological problems for him & your quite welcome btw:)

[assia735]

@jlalewicz i didnt understand all that you write ........now i know the story about this girl and thanks for the explanation

[jlalewicz]

@assia735 There is a question as to whether Clyde Barrow was either impotent , possibly gay/bisexual, or(and probably MOST LIKELY) is that he was raped while in prison causing lingering emotional/psychological trauma which resulted in sexual dysfunction. THAT is what is being depicted here in this scene from Bonnie & Clyde. Bonnie, not realizing what had happened to Clyde in prison, mistakenly believes it is 'she' who is the problem.
