One of the most preternaturally talented of the movie-brat auteurs to emerge from the New Hollywood of the 1960s, cinephile-turned-director Peter Bogdanovich began his career on a remarkable high note with a string of critical successes. Produced by Roger Corman, his startling first feature, TARGETS, starring Boris Karloff in his last dramatic role, transcends its B-movie origins and now plays as an eerily prescient look at the rise of gun violence in America. With his next film, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, an elegiac homage to John Ford and Howard Hawks, Bogdanovich was hailed as a wunderkind, and he made good on that promise in the similarly bittersweet Depression-era comedy PAPER MOON. These early triumphs are testaments to the out-of-the-gate brilliance of a filmmaker who exemplified the auteur-driven creative freedom of the New American Cinema.
