This is a movie on Netflix premiering on March 29. It's about Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. "Screenwriter John Fusco wants to fill you in on the true heroes of the tale: two former lawmen who used old-school methods to bring down the bandits." Kevin Costner (Frank Hamer) and Woody Harrelson (Maney Gault) star as the pair. It also stars Kathy Bates as Texas Governor Miriam "Ma" Ferguson. This sounds good, now I just have to get a Netflix subscription!

Lol!...I thought it was going to be about the poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes.

I learned it in 6th grade and still love it!

I have plans to watch this over the weekend as well @Jordan2.   I think it will be interesting to see a movie that is from the law man's side of the Bonnie and Clyde story.

 

DD told me she saw an interview with Kevin Costner and he was saying the Texas Ranger responsible for hunting down Bonnie and Clyde was portrayed as a joke in the original Bonnie and Clyde movie.  Evidently his wife sued on the grounds of defamation after that original movie was released and won the case.  So it will be interesting to see another depiction of his role in the story of Bonnie and Clyde.
