Product Description

LAST PICTURE SHOW: Released in 1971 to critical acclaim and public controversy, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW garnered eight Academy Award® nominations (including Best Picture) and was hailed as the most important work by a young American director since Citizen Kane. A surprisingly frank, bittersweet drama of social and sexual mores in small-town Texas, the film features a talent-laden cast led by Jeff Bridges (The Mirror Has Two Faces), Cybill Shepherd (TV's "Cybill") and Timothy Bottoms (The Man in the Iron Mask). Cloris Leachman (TV's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show") and Ben Johnson (Rio Grande) each won Oscars® for their work in supporting roles. This modern classic is a must-have for every movie lover. NICKELODEON: Burt Reynolds and Ryan O'Neal star in this heartfelt valentine to the early days of moviemaking. O'Neal is the film director who literally stumbles into his job, and Reynolds is an overnight screen hero. Based on actual reminiscences of such veterans as Raoul Walsh and A

Hollywood does not make movies like this anymore.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2022

Hollywood has always been obsessed with its own legend and never tires of painting self portraits. This is one of those, depicting the very earliest days of the film industry, when Edison had a patent on moving pictures and used fair means an foul to enforce it. What makes this movie unlike anything produced today is that it is a madcap farce painted against that background, with a romantic comedy story line thrown in for good measure. Think "Thoroughly Modern Millie" or "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". The picture is not bad in any way. I only took one star off because its not one that you'd want to see twice or will be thinking of after watching. It's low key, pleasant entertainment but there's nothing here that will really move you.

This "Director's Choice" from Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures features two films by Peter Bogdonovich: the Director's Cut his now classic drama "The Last Picture Show" from 1971 (which always good to have and which Sal Mineo first brought to his attention as a film property) and also two versions of his 1976 "Nickelodeon," something Bogdonovich was to capitalize on in his rocky career, valentines to other people's films, which even "Last Picture Show" shares in. The two versions are the original theatrical version in color and the new director's cut in black and white, something in the commentary he says he originally hoped the film could be done in. "Nickelodeon" strives to present the early days of silent film-making in the same slapstick that was usually presented in such films with clips from "Birth of a Nation" in its obligatory homage to Griffith. It deserves its black and white transfer. In "Nickelodeon"" Bogdonovich does not leave himself out of the loop of the many directors he presents anecdotes (like Leo McCarey because he was dead remained uncredited unlike then still living directors, Raoul Walsh and Allan Dwan) with taking parts of more successful Bogdonovich hits like "What's Up, Doc?" and "Paper Moon" and in the commentary laments not being able to use Cybil Shepherd in the main female role opposite the often used Ryan O'Neal and Burt Reynolds (who with Shepherd had starred in the director's previous big flop musical "At Long Last Love" which remains unavailable on home video) and also Tatum O'Neal, John Ritter, Stella Stevens and Brian Keith. An inexperienced actress, Jane Hitchcock played the main female lead and she does it haltingly and only adds to the cardboard, manufactured performances in an endless array of anticipated slapstick that never tells a moral of any kind, either in what was re-added to film for the director's cut that makes more sense of the film as the film has no real life to it. But it has a great professionalism that is always present in his films, and relegates his failures as a step above many other directors. In the commentary, Bogdonovich says that his next two films after "Nickelodeon": "Saint Jack" and the disastrous "They All Laughed" were two of his best, I wonder if he would now take credit for his first in 1968 then as Derek Thomas, "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" before his triumphant "debut" under his own name with his brilliant Hitchcock homage "Targets" (also in 1968).

I primarily purchased this video because I am a huge Stella Stevens fan. She is such a gifted yet an underrated actress. Besides being a terrific actress, she is THE SEXIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD!

The movie is Peter Bogdanovich's tribute to the silent film era. In his commentary he credits some the scenes in the movie to actual events that occurred to silent movie pioneers. His commentary provides excellent insight into his scene selection and direction.

The movie centers around the characters starring Ryan O'Neal and Burt Reynolds. O'Neal plays the director and Reynolds the leading man of the production company. In the beginning of the film Stella Stevens plays the leading actress until she becomes replaced by a newcomer, Jane Hitchcock. Before being replaced, Stella is thrown into a horse trough, falls off a moving truck, appears in white face, and black face. Why Stella Stevens does not have a romantic encounter with either Burt or Ryan is beyond me, however a deleted romance scene involving Stella is explained by Bogdanovich.

The movie was originally shot in color, however the director's cut includes a black and white version that Bogdanovich prefers. The color version enhances the visual appearance of the film, but I see merit in viewing the film in black and white also.

There are many comedic moments in the film, however my primary reason for viewing the film is because of my favorite actress, Stella Stevens.

Loved making this movie!

I was in the film Nickolodeon as an extra "Indian woman" in the Chatacawan dance troupe. They cut out my close up and a few of my 8 scenes from the original shown in the theaters. I wonder what else they cut in order to cut the time down.

I had alot of fun working on this film. I worked for three months while meeting many talented, wonderful, and interesting people and a few not so great. Tatum O'Neal was a joy to work with for me. We sat at the piano one day and had a nice chat. Most people treated her like an adult but she was still just a child at heart. Such a loving little girl.

Burt Reynolds was sick for most of his time here in Oakdale although, made a great impact on the Indian people who worked with him. He became a man of great respect whether he knew it or not. He was proud and professional. The people learned from him.

Watching this movie was like stepping back in time!

NICKELODEON IN COLOR.....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2014

Yes, the colorized version on the DVD runs circles around the black and white theatrical release. Too bad they didn't have the equipment to do this on its initial release. The black and white version was terrible. I walked out of the theater when it opened first run in Hollywood.

I don't know how I missed the colorized version on this DVD. A reviewer mentioned it was in black and white and in color too. Suddenly I put it back on and the colorized version came on the screen. I take back all the bad remarks I made, with the exception that the colorized version made it well worth while watching it. There is more depth to the picture and too bad I missed any publicity on this one. Buy it. The Last Picture Show, restored, is also on it. BUY IT ON AMAZON.

I saw Nickelodeon many years ago when it was in release. I thought it was a very amusing movie then, and wanted to see it again. Yes, it is a very amusing movie, but it is definitely dated. We change but the movie doesn't. I especially liked the scene where the character played by Burt Reynolds (Shootin's my middle name!) is sent to shoot someone. As someone who knows a bit about firearms and the operation thereof, watching Burt try to load the rifle was hilarious. That scene alone was worth the price of the movie.
