Peter Bogdanovich created a heartbreakingly honest portrait of small-town America in his acclaimed 1970s masterpiece of ’50s nostalgia. Early performances by Timothy (and his brother Sam) Bottoms, Cybill Shepherd, and Jeff Bridges shine in this rural Texas tale of innocence lost, forbidden desires, and the tragedies of their repression. As the inhabitants of a small town struggle to find purpose and fulfillment, seasons pass, responsibilities grow,  and life, sad and beautiful, goes on.
