Reception
Tony Scott of 'Variety' said that this version "concentrates on the pair's supposed innocence and sensitivity; program is surprisingly effective."[https://variety.com/1992/tv/reviews/fox-night-at-the-movies-bonnie-and-clyde-the-true-story-1200430526/ Tony Scott, "Review: Fox Night at the Movies Bonnie and Clyde: The True Story"], 'Variety', 1992 TV reviews, 17 August 1992; accessed 1 April 2019 When they begin traveling together, Bonnie is a teenager and Clyde is 20 years old. Scott says the chief fault of this version is "in turning the sleazy Bonnie and Clyde into a pair of sympathetic characters."
