QuickView
Story-line: this film set in a rapidly decaying Texas town circa 1950 tells the story of two young men on the cusp of adulthood and of other characters trying to make sense of their lives.
Pluses: a very moving experience and an unforgettable Cloris Leachman.
Minuses: none really, unless you don’t like black and white films.
Comments: a sad and beautiful movie. Features great characters that will be rejoined in TEXASVILLE (1990) with mixed results. My suggestion: don’t miss the original and bypass the sequel.
