19
years after the achingly atmospheric The
Last Picture Show, Peter
Bogdanovich returns to the fictitious 'Anarene' (though the story picks up 30 years after the 50s-set original).
He revisists the characters created by
Larry McMurtry (latterly, the adaptor for the screen
of E Annie Proulx's Brokeback
Mountain).
Somehow, this time the magic just doesn't work so well.
The location is, once again, Archer
City,
about 25 miles south of Wichita Falls, northern Texas.
The good news is that the burnt-out Royal
Theater, 113 East Main Street, has been restored
and is open again, for live performances. Although the
original facade remains, it's no more than a facade.
The theatre itself lies behind the building to the left.
In 1990, the picture house was still an empty shell,
so – as in the original film – cinema interiors
were filmed in the town Olney,
a few miles further south.
The Dairy Queen, 914 South
Center Street, where evryone hangs out, is
on Highway 79, south
of town.
