A story that has been floating around for years about the final shootout is that Arthur Penn and/or Warren Beatty got the idea to have a piece of Clyde's skull fly away based on watching the Abraham Zapruder home movie of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The problem with this is the Zapruder film was first shown to the public by Geraldo Rivera in 1975, nine years after Bonnie and Clyde was made. Penn and Beatty would not have had a chance to see it before then. Life Magazine had bought the film in Nov. 1963, and after it was viewed by the Warren Commission, it was locked away in the offices of Time-Life. If the Zapruder film was an influence on Bonnie and Clyde, Penn and Beatty would have only had the Dec. 1963 Life Magazine still photo spread of Zapruder's 8mm film as a source.
