Sam the Lion runs the pool-hall, the picture house and the all-night café. Coach
Popper whips his boys with towels and once took a shot at one when he disturbed
his hunting. Billy wouldn't know better than to sweep his broom all the way to
the town limits if no one stopped him. And teenage friends Sonny and Duane have
nothing better to do than drift towards the adult world, with its temptations of
sex and confusions of love.
The basis for a classic film, The Last Picture Show is both extremely funny and
deeply profound. And, with the eccentrically peopled Thalia, Texas, Larry
McMurtry made a small town that feels as real as any you've ever walked around.
Famously filmed by Peter Bogdanovich in 1971 with Jeff Bridges and Cybill
Shepherd.
With a new introduction by Mary Karr.
