Texasville is a 1990 American film directed by Peter Bogdanovich. It is a sequel to The Last Picture Show, and is based on the book of the same name by Larry McMurtry. The story focuses on Duane Jackson (Jeff Bridges) now in his forties as the wealthy tycoon of a suffering oil company, and his relationship with his family. He's got a wife (Annie Potts) who believes the mild mannered Duane is cheating on her (which he is), a son (William McNamara) who seems to be following in his father's libidinous footsteps and the responsibility as being the only responsible one of his entire family and the grandchildren. In addition to his dysfunctional life is the presence of Anarene's other town folk who have never moved beyond its boundaries like Ruth Popper (Cloris Leachman), now working as Duane's dry witted secretary; a despondent Lester Marlow (Randy Quaid), now a businessman who seems prime for a heart attack and his distant best friend Sonny Crawford (Timothy Bottoms) whose behavior lately has a cause for concern in Duane over Sonny's mental health. Entering the picture is Jacy Farrow (Cybill Shepherd) who has travelled the world and experienced a painful tragedy that has brought her back to Anarene, Texas to settle into for good. |
