Mark Pellington on THE LAST PICTURE SHOW

Filmmaker Mark Pellington attends THE LAST PICTURE SHOW

The ghosts of Howard Hawks and John Ford hover over film buff/historian Peter Bogdanovich's first studio movie after the impressive indie Targets. Orson Welles persuaded him to insist on shooting his Oscar winning adaptation of Larry McMurtry's semi-autobiographical novel in black and white, unusual for the period. He followed it in 1990 with a sequel, Texasville, featuring many of the same cast. In 1992 Bogdanovich issued a "director's cut" adding seven minutes of material deleted by Columbia, which had insisted on a two hour running time.
