The Whole Shootin' Match

Director: Eagle Pennell, Eagle Pennell

1978 / 109min / DCP

“Eagle Pennell went to my high school, briefly went to my college, and is buried in my hometown—so I've always been fascinated by the myth of Eagle. I’ve heard people say he played up his accent for the Europeans who wanted something authentically Texan. Some of his friends claimed he was being pretentious when he said he was influenced by Godard. Who knows what was true except the proof we have on the screen.”—Graham Carter
