The Gene Wilder-Evans Evans sequence is based on the kidnappings of undertaker H.D. Darby and his acquaintance, Sophia Stone, near Ruston, Louisiana on the late afternoon of April 27, 1933 by the Barrow gang, who had stolen their car. They were both released unharmed several hours later. According to Darby, one of the Barrow gang members asked what he did for a living and when he replied that he was an undertaker, Bonnie Parker allegedly said to him in a sarcastic tone that "you may have to work on me someday." The following year, H.D. Darby was indeed one of the coroners that worked on Bonnie and Clyde after they had been killed by the police.
