Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Frank Hamer was so vilified by the 1967 Bonnie and Clyde film that his family sued Warner Bros. This was their long-delayed revenge.
Hancock deliberately withheld Bonnie and Clyde's faces until the end, mirroring how Hamer and Gault never saw them clearly until the bullets stopped.
