We begin and end in various locations in the small west Texas town of Archer City – in a bookstore, at a traffic intersection, at a movie theater façade. The Archer City of 1951-1952 was the town Larry McMurtry fictionalized as Thalia in his 1966 novel “The Last Picture Show.” Archer City was the production location for the film based on the novel. Archer City is also McMurtry's hometown and was the site of the largest antiquarian bookstore in the United States.
