Film Studies Daily Log

Tuesday, May 31

Students took a 40-pt. quiz over film noir.

We then introduced Bonnie and Clyde by looking at photographs of the actual people (Bonnie Parker and Clyde Parker) whom the film portrays and by listening to Woody Guthrie singing "pretty Boy Floyd," a Robin Hood treatment of another famous depression era bank robber.

We then watched the first few minutes of Bonnie and Clyde.
