More than ten years after Arthur Penn directed the classic Bonnie and Clyde, B-movie director Mark L. Lester took a stab at a variation of the story with buxom Lynda Carter being the main attraction.
Penn's film was a marvel of character depth and almost lyrical violence. Lester's offers none of that. It tries, but fails.
There are plenty of robberies and shoot-outs with a bumbling group of law enforcement agents in Bobbie Jo. And, there's an attempt to add some backstory to Carter's title character.
But, it's all superficial. Carter's character in fact feels underdeveloped and her co-star, Marjoe Gortner, is given nothing to work with other than sex scenes and shootouts.
