Set during the early fifties, in the loneliest Texas nowheresville ever to dust up a movie screen, this aching portrait of a dying West focuses on the daily shuffles of three futureless teens — Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), Duane (Jeff Bridges) and Jacy (Cybill Shepherd) — and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds. The Last Picture Show remains the pivotal film in the career of the invaluable director and film historian Peter Bogdanovich.
