The Last Picture Show

Cloris Leachman. Timothy Bottoms w/d Peter Bogdonovitch

Extremely well done film. His first big hit and easily his best. This won the best picture award and deserved it.

Notable for the stellar acting by all hands. This time I was particularly taken by Ellen Burstyn whose portrayal of the jaded 40 year old was spot on...knowing, slutty, bored, likable...a complex, fully realized character.

One of Hollywood's great films.
