Okay, we’re slipping here.
Bonnie and Clyde were not married. Bonnie Parker was actually married to another small-time criminal named Roy Thornton. The two had been separated when Bonnie took up with Clyde Barrow but they never officially divorced.
Boris and Natasha were also not married. [Cite](http://bullwinkle.toonzone.net/natasha.htm)
And the MacBeths have been posted twice.
So:

The work is _Bonnie and Clyde_, and the married villains are Buck and Blanche. That’s why I wrote it that way, to be consistent with the other list item entries.
