****
Director: Peter Bogdanovich
Cast: Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman, Ellen Burstyn
A poignant and atmospheric black and white drama about the people of a small Texan town in the 1950s. Great performances all around, but Johnson and Leachman got singled out for Oscars. Followed by Texasville 19 years later.
