"I love this film... One of the funniest, saddest, and most touching slices of Texas life I've ever seen... The movie has hilarious but accurately heard dialogue, characters who become three-dimensional within a perfectly etched scene or two, and an ending worthy of Eugene O'Neill... This is one of the best little American films of the year." -Roger Ebert, 1983

In just a handful of films -- LAST NIGHT AT THE ALAMO, HELL OF A NOTE and THE WHOLE SHOOTIN’ MATCH -- Eagle Pennell lionized those laconic dreamers balanced between ambition and nostalgia who later became Austin, TX’s civic identity.

Eagle’s woozy testament to the comically disenfranchised is a self-medicating rodeo where the heroes ride barstools and pray they can hang on until last call. This legendary dog-eared hangout movie is from a script by Kim Henkel (co-writer of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), and was filmed in B&W by Eric Alan Edwards (MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO.)

Long unavailable on home video or streaming, Last Night at the Alamo shows exclusively in Screen Slate's Virtual Cinema.
