The best American movies are
often expected to come from New
York or Hollywood. The cities in
between are thought to be a vast,
barren, cinematic wasteland.
Contradicting this theoiy is The
Last Night at the Alamo," show
ing this weekend at the Sheldon
Film Theatre. The film is a fine
example of regional American
cinema made and produced en
tirely in Texas, and shot on a
budget of only tSl,CQ0.
With a guitar twanging a lonely
tune in the background, the film
opens on the skyscrapers and
urban setting of Houston. But
this is the only glimpse of the out
side world shown. The rest of the
film is shot in The Alamo Bar and
a few other run-down locations.
This is the last open night of
the bar because the building is
being scrapped to clear the way
for a condominium complex. The
bar's regulars have gathered for
what turns out to be one hot and
steamy evening.
"Last Night at the Alamo" is
about people, people who nurse
their Lone Star Beer, and hide
behind their cowboy hats and
western cut shirts.
Claude (Louis Perrym&n) sits
at the bar drowning hb sorrows
and calling his wife on the pay
telephone because she has kicked
him out o!Thb owr, house. He feels
trapped and forced by her into
struggling to keep up with a white
collar, middle-class group he has
trouble identifying with.
Ichabod (Steven Matilla), who
lacks any trace of social grace,
arrives in his company's exter
minator pickup. He is a sleazy
punk who shops at Montgomery
Wards, swears often and finds
comfort in playing pool with his
girlfriend. Because his place is
full of roaches, he borrows $50
hoping that he can take her to
the Paradise Motel (they show X
rated movies there). After be
coming a little more Intoxicated,
he stands on top of the bar and
invites everyone to the Paradise
Motel to watch the two of them.
Providing a common thread
throughout the storyline Is Cow
boy (Sonny Carl Davis). He's lost
a few fobs, lsnt quite sure of
where he's going or where he's
been, but he finds status at The
Alamo.
