Robert Benton helped change Hollywood forever by cowriting Bonnie
and Clyde, which ushered in an era of antiheroes, stylish violence,
and fatalism. After cowriting several other high-profile features
in the 1970s, Benton made an auspicious directing debut with a
Western, Bad Company, and followed it up with the comic-noir The
Late Show. Kramer vs. Kramer brought all of Benton's promise into
focus: his humanistic appeal and his grasp of the burden and beauty
of relationships. His footing has slipped once in a while over
the years, but he has also done truly splendid work, including
two outstanding films with Paul Newman (Nobody's Fool and Twilight).
