Arthur Penn’s still-visceral and lacerating tale of doomed love and murder, Bonnie and Clyde, literally changed the movies by breaking the Hayes Code — the repressive Catholic movie censorship system that once prohibited American studio films from showing sex, graphic violence and other “immoral content.” Now, Texas Public Radio is screening Bonnie and Clyde on Tuesday, June 18, as part of the organization’s Cinema Tuesdays series. And the film still stings 57 years later.
