Parker can't live with her mother, who receives federal housing assistance, and neither can she live with her grandmother in the Chicago suburbs much longer.

Real old-timers who tuned in to the charade might have gone dewy-eyed in reminiscence of Depression days. That's when bandits like Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were outlaw heroes, and the big villains were the bankers, who foreclosed on homes and farms, sent widows and orphans into the streets to beg and stoked a vivid genre of populist movies that forged in the mass audience's mind an indelible image of the pompous, rapacious plutocrat.
