Über diesen Film

Brilliant study of life in a small Texas town during the 1950s, and how characters' lives intertwine. The story, based on Larry McMurtry's novel, follows the exploits of two high school football stars. Oscars went to Ben Johnson and Chloris Leachman for sensitive performances. © 1971, renewed 1999, 1991 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

None of these characters are interesting or likable. I guess it might have been 1970's artsy/steamy, but it really stops there. It's really just bleak and pretty boring.

A classic for the times. Shot in black and white to fit the time. The characters have depth. You can see why it won 2 academy awards for best supporting actor and actress. One of my top ten dramas.

Classic Texas panhandle tale about coming of age in the 1950s. One of McMurtry's best.
