When Bonnie met Clyde, a myth began — but what actually drove them to kill?

Step into the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow — but not as you know it. This isn’t a simple love-and-crime saga. It’s a study of two personalities colliding, of fear and fascination, of power and vulnerability. In this episode of It Takes Two, journalist Simon Ford and former major-crime detective Jacques Morrell bring you:

• The historical backdrop of 1950s America — from juvenile delinquency panic to the lure of the motor-car getaway.
• An in-depth look at the personal dynamic of Bonnie and Clyde: the 14-year-old girl, the 19-year-old man, and the deadly path they shared.
• A new angle: how culture, violence and identity merged in one of the most notorious outlaw romances of the 20th century.

Whether you’re a true-crime enthusiast or interested in the psychology of partnership and coercion — this one is for you.
