Synopsis

Like so many of his films, this period gangster movie was clearly made by Roger Corman to capitalize on the success of a different hit movie — in this case, BONNIE AND CLYDE. Here, Shelley Winters plays Ma Barker, who employs her killer brood of sons to commit bank robberies with the police in hot pursuit. With Bruce Dern, Don Stroud, and a nearly unknown Robert De Niro. It would be an exaggeration to say this film helped De Niro’s career significantly, but it sure didn’t hurt. In 35mm.
