The Last Picture Show
Checking Availibility...Description
"McMurtry is an alchemist who converts the basest materials to gold." -- New York Times Book Review
The Last Picture Show (1966) is both a rambunctious coming-of-age story and an elegy to a forlorn Texas town trying to keep its one movie house alive. Adapted into the Oscar-winning film, this masterpiece immortalizes the lives of the hardscrabble residents who are threatened by the inexorable forces of the modern world.
