Bonnie and Clyde

Published: Aug. 3, 2017, 4 a.m.

It’s 50 years since the release of the movie “Bonnie and Clyde.” The film opened during the “Summer of Love,” which was also the era of the Vietnam war. As WNYC’s Sara Fishko tells us in this Fishko Files replay, the divided response to the film put its director, the late Arthur Penn, at the center of a swirl of controversy.

Arthur Penn was an American director and producer of television and films including the 1967 "Bonnie and Clyde." (Produced in 2007)
