Texasville is a 1990 American drama film directed by Peter Bogdanovich. It is a sequel to The Last Picture Show, and based on the novel Texasville by Larry McMurtry. Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Cloris Leachman, Timothy Bottoms, Randy Quaid and Eileen Brennan reprise their roles from the 1971 film. Texasville is in color, while The Last Picture Show was filmed in black and white. The film got mostly negative reviews and did not do well at the box office either, although Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert both gave the film a thumbs up on their show. In 1984, 33 years after the events depicted in... The Last Picture Show, 50-year-old Duane Jackson is a wealthy tycoon of a near bankrupt oil company. His relationship with his family isn't prospering, either. His wife, Karla , believes that Duane is cheating on her and his son, Dickie , seems to be following in his father's libidinous footsteps. Ruth Popper , works as Duane's secretary, and despondent Lester Marlow , now a businessman, seems a prime candidate for a business crisis or a heart attack or both.
