Summary
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, enigmatic Sonny, Duane, and desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy, and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds"America's lost and found": Like the rest of America, Hollywood was ripe for revolution in the late sixties. Cinema attendance was down; what had once worked seemed broken. Enter Bob Rafelson, Bert Schneider, and Steve Blauner, who knew that what Hollywood needed was new audiences, namely young people, and that meant cultivating new talent and new ideas. Fueled by money from their invention of the superstar TV pop group the Monkees, they set off on a film-industry journey that would lead them to form BBS Productions, a company that was also a community. "Last Picture Show" is one of their more iconic films
