![]() ![]() Clyde also became a cold-blooded killer, gunning down several law enforcement officers. They were not daring bank robbers, but two-bit hold up thieves, with an uncanny way of escaping the law. They were dirt poor kids, living in West Dallas, during the depression and Clyde Barrow slid steadily into a life of crime and eventually brought Bonnie Parker, along for the ride. However, fantastic the 1967 film was, it romanticized the infamous couple, casting them as tragic folk heroes. Once I heard about, I knew I had to read it and it turned out to be an excellent biography. I had always wanted to read more about them, but never did, outside of an occasional true crime anthology. I liked Bullitt, especially the famous car chase but I fell hard for Bonnie and Clyde. I remember seeing a double feature, in the early 70s, that included Bonnie and Clyde and Bullitt. ![]()
