Viewing Notes
I had never seen this gem but I loved it. Cybil Shepard as a young Texas woman trying to lose her virginity is stunning. Jeff Bridges is amazing and Tim Bottoms shows true acting skill.
Lots has been said about this classic and I’m glad I finally got to see it. It’s an absolute must see.
