The Last Picture Show is a 1971 film directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and adapted from a 1966 novel by Larry McMurtry. It featured an all star cast: Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman, Ellen Burstyn, Eileen Brennam, Randy Quaid, John Hillerman and was Cybil Sheppard’s first starring role. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards and the American Film Institute has ranked it as one of the top 100 American films of all time. Shot in black and white, one reviewer wrote: “The episodic, bleak and mournful film was shot on location over an eleven-week period in northwestern Texas in a dusty, wind-swept, one-horse, declining small-town that was on the verge of being forgotten in the early 1950s.”
Clues:
Find your way to Archer City (20 miles southwest of Wichita Falls). It’s enough for you to get to Archer City, so I’m going to make finding the box easy! Go to the center of town (the blinking four way stop light). Across from the Courthouse on the corner of Main St. and Sycamore, you will see the Royal Theater (on which the book was based). There is a vacant lot to the right of the theater with three trees. Go to the back tree, closest to the alley and look around the trunk under some rocks for the box.
This lot is maintained, so please rehide the box carefully under the rocks out of sight so it is not discovered.
Note: Award winning author of many books (including Lonesome Dove, Streets of Laredo, Texasville, Comanche Moon and many more) Larry McMurtry resides in Archer City and owns four bookstores in town featuring one of the country’s largest collection of antique and out-of-print books. Go early and spend the day browsing in the bookstores. If you’re interested in antique farm equipment, the museum houses a large collection. Your best bet for lunch may be the local Sonic.
