Peter Biskind's 'Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-And-Rock 'N' Roll generation saved Hollywood'

Bonnie and Clyde

'Bonnie and Clyde came out in the middle of the sexual revolution, and its real originality lays in the fact that it recognised that in America, fame and glamour are more potent than sex.' page 48

'Moreover, from the moment Clyde introduces himself and his partner, saying, "I'm Clyde Barrow and this is Miss Bonnie Parker. We rob banks", the movie brazenly romanticises the outlaws – bank robbers and killers.' page 49
