The Bonnie Parker Story

1958 · 79 min

A fast, gritty little crime flick that zips through Depression-era holdups with a cold-eyed blonde at the wheel, more pulp than prestige.

Overview
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.
