A plea for help. On this day in 1934 bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed by police in Louisiana. In the ground-breaking, heavily romanticized film Bonnie and Clyde you may remember a scene just before the ambush in which Clyde is sitting in the car and one of the lenses drops out of his sunglasses. I have found no one who can explain the significance of this. Was it an accident on set and the cameras kept rolling? Does it have any deep-rooted symbolism? If you know ...
In other news ...
The Mounties were formed 139 years ago today. Bearing in mind they ride horses, wear broad-brimmed hats and scarlet tunics, it's a wonder they ever get their man.
But they do.
