Arthur Penn's Depiction Of The Depression                                                A registered user at IMDb by the name Ironside writes on "Bonnie And Clyde" here : "One of the stimulating moments in the film happens when Clyde chases Bonnie through a yellow corn field, while a cloud transverses the sun and slowly shadows the landscape...Here the characteristic quality of the Texas countryside and the vague aspect of the story are beautifully communicated.."
