Sweet Polly
Picture This: The Times of Peter Bogdanovich in Archer City, Texas (1991)
directed by George Hickenlooper
rating: 2 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
The lesser of two Bogdanovich-centric movies (although, in a sense, aren't they all?) I've watched in the last week. In spite of the title, Picture This is producer Timothy "The Paper Chase/That's My Bush!" Bottoms' 19-years-in-the-making confession of love for early bloomer Cybill Shepherd. Desperate but entertaining on all accounts, the principals probably shouldn't have gone to Archer City in 1971, let alone 1990 (when Texasville was made). Polly Platt plays a more matter-of-fact Woody Harrelson to Peter and Tim's Sam and Sean, which makes Larry McMurtry either T-Bone Burnett or Cheech Marin, whoever looks better in his high school yearbook.
