A
Small Town In Texas (1976)
Synopsis: The title and the
star, Timothy Bottoms, may promise a drama in the vein of The Last Picture Show
but this is a car chase flick, directed by Jack Starrett who the previous year
crossed the chase movie with The Exorcist and came up with Race With the Devil.
Bottoms plays an ex-con, returning home to his white trash girlfriend,
Susan George, and their baby son. Bottoms also swears revenge on the redneck
cop who busted him, Bo Hopkins, which results in a lot of revving up, wasted
gasoline and explosions. Aimed fair and square at what Variety used to call
yahoo audiences.
Cast: Timothy Bottoms, Susan
George Runtime: 96 min
