The 93-minute television film was shot on location at historic crime scenes associated with the couple in East Texas. The film premiered on Fox on August 17, 1992.[1]

Premise

Bonnie Parker is estranged from her husband while still only just barely eighteen. Clyde Barrow, a handsome charmer who is in love with Bonnie, is a small-time thief, 'borrowing' cars to teach Bonnie to drive. He falls in with W.D. Jones, and their crime levels quickly rise. Soon Bonnie is dragged in with them, due to her love for Clyde, and within a short space of time, everyone is baying for the blood of Bonnie and Clyde.

Cast

Reception

Tony Scott of Variety said that this version "concentrates on the pair's supposed innocence and sensitivity; program is surprisingly effective."[2] When they begin traveling together, Bonnie is a teenager and Clyde is 20 years old. Scott says the chief fault of this version is "in turning the sleazy Bonnie and Clyde into a pair of sympathetic characters."[2]
