Bonnie and Clyde's 40th!


It's the 40th anniversary of the release of "Bonny and Clyde."


I was in London for 2 weeks. The day before I had gone to see George Segal and Jason Robards Jr. In "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre." It was a disaster of a movie. A big zero.


Then I went to see "Bonnie and Clyde," which had no press build-up. I had no idea what it was about. I just wanted to sit in a dark movie house and be swept away by images on a screen.


Swept away, I was. Along with the movie-going world.


Read this article in today's New York Times and click on the various trailers and clips. And if you've never seen this flick, rent the DVD tonight. It's a stunner. Warren Beatty, Fay Dunaway, Gene Hackman and Gene Wilder, among others.
