BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967) Photo by Floyd McCarty

Vintage original 11 x 14″ (28 x 35 cm.) black-and-white double weight semi-glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA. Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons, dir: Arthur Penn; Warner Brothers. There are no condition distractions in this print. Fine.

An intense moment is depicted in this image from this groundbreaking classic film. The story allowed the audience to have sympathy for the villains, a concept which broke the rules of the stringent Production Code which had slowly been carved away since being instituted in 1934 — the year much of this story took place. After this film, the code was pretty much done away with. The costumes by Theadora Van Runkle started a fashion craze.

The photo is stamped on the back “BONNIE AND CLYDE Warner Bros. Exclusive” and “Photo by Floyd McCarty”.
