BW/Rtg: NR The Other Side Of Bonnie And Clyde (1968)Rarely seen, offbeat outing from cult director Larry Buchanan mixes dramatic re-creations of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker's notorious 1934 spree with actual interview footage from the family of the man who brought them down, Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, and from Barrow associate Floyd Hamilton, to paint a gripping portrait of crime's most popular couple. Burl Ives narrates. 75 min. C/Rtg: NR The Zodiac Killer: Noir (1971)"Who is he... What is he... When is he going to strike again?"
