The Bonnie Parker Story
The Bonnie Parker Story (1958)
The Bonnie Parker Story Dorothy Provine made her major feature debut as Parker, while the Barrow character was renamed "Guy Darrow" and played by Jack Hogan . Aside from the name changes and many anachronisms, The Bonnie Parker Story focuses more on the fictional legend of the "cigar-smoking" gun moll than the known facts of the Barrow gang, though it does include elements like Bonnie's criminal ex-husband and the gang's deadly prison break that have not been featured in other major movies like the more famous Bonnie and Clyde Machine Gun Kelly starring Charles Bronson as another real-life 1930s outlaw.
The following weapons were used in the film The Bonnie Parker Story :
Handguns M1911A1 Bonnie Parker (Dorothy Provine ) carries a M1911A1 as her preferred sidearm, often drawn to fend off the advances of her own gang.
