Preceded by short: Betty's Corner Cafe (Anthony Buba, U.S., 1976). Betty's is a small bar in PA that caters to drinkers who start in the AM. The regulars tell their stories with a casual candor that is an homage to director Buba's ingratiating style. (11 mins, 16mm, From the artist) ----------------------------------------The Alamo, a seedy redneck bar in Houston, is just about ready for the wrecking ball. The night before the doors swing closed at this ornery western saloon, the regulars get together for a final swill-out. Cowboy (Sonny Davis), a local hero with a big mouth and a bigger strut, figures he can hold back the bulldozers. This is not just the coming of condos-a cowpoke needs his watering hole. Like None But the Brave before it, Last Night at the Alamo augurs the end of the trail for the cowboy. Pennell's rich and ridiculously riotous character study is a disquieting glimpse of a fading culture: macho Texans holding on to their Tony Lamas in an age of Doc Martens.
