    One of the best of William Witney's films
    For those who don't know who Bill Witney was, let me explain, he was the most famous serial maker ever. The most gifted in that domain. Besides this, he also directed films and also TV episodes. Grade Z westerns too, starring Allan Rocky Lane, Gene Autry or Roy Rogers, singing cowboys. So, you see...This one, made in the late fifties, tells a topic in the early sixties mode ( rebel youth, juvenile delinquency) but which actually takes place in the thirties. Bill Witney, long before Arthur Penn, told Bonnie Parker's story using this juvenile revolt; smart, isn't it? Dotty Provine is outstanding here. It is taut, tense, tragic, and an excellent film noir from a serial specialist. But after all Spencer Gordon Bennet, also a vet serial director, gave us THE BOUNTY HUNTER, which was for him BONNIE PARKER STORY was for Witney. Try one day to watch, also from Witney, STRANGER AT MY DOOR, a strange film really worth; don't worry I will talk about it later.
