“I only know Cybill Shepherd from ‘Taxi Driver’ (1976), and can’t wait to see her in this! The director, Peter Bogdanovich, is a name I keep hearing, but I haven’t had a chance to see any of his movies. This will check off a lot of boxes I think.” – Tom R.
“The Last Picture Show was recommended to me by a Brattle customer shortly after Peter Bogdanovich passed away. I fully intend to follow up on their recommendation!” – Ryan C.
