A desolate Texan town in the 1950s is dying, and the sudden death of one of its locals exponentially accelerates the process. Some movies provide a very detailed snapshot of how it must have been to live in a certain time and place, and although I wasn't around at the time, this film with its bleak black-and-white cinematography (which oddly lost the Oscar to Fiddler on the Roof that year), offers the atmosphere of such a life, and what people do when there's nothing to do in a very small town where every single move is known to everybody.
