- Although it flopped in its first release in 1967, this landmark New Hollywood gangster saga from Warren Beatty and Arthur Penn was rediscovered by some of the same critics who had savaged it and went on to become a blockbuster hit, influencing fashion, culture and filmmaking techniques for decades.

It changed movies forever, what else needs
To be said, that says it all.
One of 3 Films that defined my generation. The other 2: The Graduate and Five Easy Pieces
shame..you left out Rosemary's Baby....
mike patrick TY. If you consider Rosemary a Wayward Youth trying to find her identity, I concur, but while brilliant in hindsight, at the time it was out of the realm of inner, existential conflict that I refer to as defining, and simply an exquisite, gothic forewarning to avoid creepy neighbors bearing milkshakes! 🚫👺😱🍼
I saw it at it's second release in '67. Beatty was outside couting the audience. The gunshots were real, real loud. I head that Beatty admired the gunshot sounds in Shane and wanted the volume turned up at the projection booth. Well it worked. It was like a rock'n roll movie.
One line that's funny and "touching" at the same time is the meat cleaver scene -
"He tried to kill me! Why'd he do that? I wasn't gonna hurt him!"
Originally conceived as a black & white French New Wave type film with Godard directing. Besides the spectacular finale everyone remembers, a surprisingly conventional, albeit well made, crime drama without anything particularly avant garde (outside of Clyde being impotent and possibly gay).
Saw it in the theater, the violence was shocking at the time. When Gene Hackman gets wounded it sickened me. Almost as shocking as seeing a child crushed by a helicopter, am I right John? I haven't forgotten.
Amazing this film is now 50 years old now. Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway and Gene Hackman are excellent I this movie. The final scene where their bodies riddled with bullets, shocking in 1967, now commonplace in films and television.
I meant in this movie.
A number of older critics just couldn't stand this movie, but ultimately the public embraced it, nobody had to tell them what was good.

I would expect better from John Landis, or even Golda Meir. This wasn't a cameo appearance for Gene Wilder. It was his movie debut.
TANKED!!! The film cost 2.5 mil and grossed 70mil worldwide. I'd sure like to make such a "tanked" film myself. I remember going to the release of this film and the place was packed. Good trailer or Bad this movie hit it big in the USA.
The movie initially flopped when it was released in August 1967. Warner Bros. had no faith in the picture, especially after the bad reviews (mainly by older critics), so it just released it in some drive-ins, like a B-movie. But word of mouth and glowing reviews by Pauline Kael and up-and-coming Roger Ebert gave the film buzz, and it was re-released in December of that year, when it became a worldwide sensation. It was the fourth highest-grossing film of the year, and was nominated for 10 Oscars, including one for each of its principal actors (Beatty, Dunaway, Hackman, Parsons, Pollard). And now the movie is a classic and is regarded as the first film of the New Hollywood, when the production code was done away with for good and the ratings system was installed. Suddenly, filmmakers had more freedom.
Didn’t warren Beatty have to bet Warner that if they would rerelease the film his way and it didn’t make more money in its test area that they could have all of its profits? And it did succeed and then Beatty kept his share of the film.
I don't see what's wrong with the trailer, other than maybe the mod-lettering.
I like thomasine and bushrod 1974 starring vonetta McGee and max julien better
Ms.Nia Hardy directed by Gordon Parks Jr the follow up to three the hard way.
