Celia Imrie tells the story behind one of the most groundbreaking and influential films of the sixties, 1967's Bonnie and Clyde. Directed by Arthur Penn and produced by lead actor Warren Beatty, it told the tale of two bank robbers who - as the movie posters declared - were 'young, in love... and killed people'.

With scenes of violence more intense than anything to have come out of Hollywood at that point, Bonnie and Clyde chimed with a generation that was already familiar with the horror of political assassinations and the war in Vietnam. It turned Beatty and Faye Dunaway into instant international superstars, while also launching the careers of fellow cast members and future film icons Gene Wilder and Gene Hackman.
