  • Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of original Bonnie and Clyde movie posters where we offer a wide range of artwork for cinema’s ultimate action crime film.

    Released in 1967, Bonnie and Clyde pioneered a new era of filmmaking, tearing down barriers in the depiction of violence and sexuality. Its success prompted other filmmakers to be more open in presenting sex and violence in their films. The film's ending became exemplary as "one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history. The movie is directed by Arthur Penn and written by David Newman and Robert Benton.

    Clyde Barrow (played by Warren Beatty) turns a chance encounter with bored, small-town Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) into the opportunity to launch a notorious crime ploy. The lovers ultimately team with Clyde’s brother Buck (Gene Hackman), his fearful wife, Blanche (Estelle Parsons), and a dim-witted henchman named C.W. Moss (Michael J. Pollard). The gang dodges all police efforts to capture them, until a fateful encounter on a lonely country road.

    Critics complained that Bonnie and Clyde would release a tidal wave of cinematic carnage, while its defenders predicted it would free filmmakers from the type of corporate chains that had discouraged artistic creativity. What cannot be argued is that the film resonated with the public and became not only a box-office blockbuster but a major contributor to 1960s pop culture. Although the film struggled initially at the box office, it went on to become one of Warner Brothers’ highest-grossing films of the era and earned numerous Academy Award nominations, including for Best Director (Penn), Best Picture, Best Actor (Beatty), Best Actress (Dunaway), Best Supporting Actor (Gene Hackman), and Best Original Screenplay (Robert Benton and David Newman); Estelle Parsons won the award for Best Supporting Actress, and Burnett Guffey won for Best Cinematography.

    Film/Art Gallery’s collection of original Bonnie and Clyde movie posters include an Australian poster with slightly different design and a tagline that has been changed from "...and they kill people" to "They rob banks". Also included in the Bonnie and Clyde poster collection is a rare review style for landmark film.
