Lloyd and Frank, two lifelong friends and self-styled entrepreneurs in Austin, try to find the get-rich-quick scheme that will actually get them rich. Lloyd has developed a new invention that he’s sure will finally lead to the success he and Frank have been chasing their whole lives. Their golden ticket is a combination mop, vacuum cleaner and floor polisher, but before prosperity arrives, reality intrudes on their plans.
One of the great American indies, The Whole Shootin’ Match has been cited as the inspiration for Robert Redford to create the Sundance Film Festival, and separately, as inspiration to Richard Linklater. We are so excited to present this 1978 shot-on-16mm film.
Experience it on a vanishingly rare 16mm print, one of only six know to have been made, and the most complete version in circulation!
