...have shocked audiences, but it brought them to the box office in record numbers. Bonnie and Clyde also stirred up a battle among movie critics that seemed to be almost as violent as the film itself. Bosley Crowther of the New York Times was so offended by it that he reviewed it-negatively-three times. "This blending of farce with brutal killings is as pointless as it is lacking in taste," he wrote. TIME'S review made the mistake of comparing the fictional and real Bonnie and Clyde, a totally irrelevant exercise. Newsweek panned the film, but the following...
After 30 years and some 10,000 movies, New York Times Film Critic Bosley Crowther, 62, is calling it quits. Not that he is tired of movies. Far from it. "One of the rewards is that I can still be enthusiastic about movies after all these years," he says.

...grown-up is to go to a war movie and see if you jump under the seat. Clutching Bosley Crowther's condemnation to my polka-dotted dress. I rushed right over to The Dirty Dozen. I wanted to see if I could watch every last machine-gun fire, every last sock in the eye. Age doesn't make you callous, just confused about what's Right and Wrong. So when relief--a play or a novel or a movie with straight black and white characters--comes, you run to it. And since Mr. Crowther took such a tut-tut attitude...
