Story Synopsis:
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway dazzle the screen as the famous depression-era bank robbers Bonnie & Clyde. The young couple start their life of crime innocently enough—robbing banks doing no personal harm, but eventually, they are forced to use their guns. The pair, along with the rest of their gang; C.W. (Pollard), Clyde’s brother Buck (Hackman) and his annoying wife Blanche (Parsons in her Academy Award®-winning role), go on the run robbing, stealing and killing anyone who dares to get in their way. Burnett Guffey won the movie’s other Oscar® for Best Cinematography.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.90:1 and is sharp and detailed with virtually no noise or artifacts. While the original theatrical version exhibited dull colors, on this edition the colors are rich and vibrant with natural fleshtones, and deep, solid blacks. Contrast is excellent as is shadow detail. This is a picture that is solid and sure to please fans of this bold and brassy classic.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is undistinguished monaural.
