She's soon in love with him, making a castle for him inside a shack; but he's bluff, gruff, and a "bindlestiff," a guy who can't stay put. When Trina tells Bill she's pregnant, he's ready to jump a freight train and move on, but first he wants to leave Trina with some money, so he partners up with Bragg, the camp's louse (who's been eyeing Trina), to rob a toy manufacturer. He's shot and the cops are closing in: does he have any options?

Targets (1968) - lesser known drama directed by Peter Bogdanovich, starring Boris Karloff, Tim O'Kelly and Nancy Hsueh

Rating 7.3/10
Runtime: 90 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Peter Bogdanovich
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063671/

Cast

Tim O'Kelly ... Bobby Thompson
Boris Karloff ... Byron Orlok
Nancy Hsueh ... Jenny
James Brown ... Robert Thompson Sr.
Arthur Peterson ... Ed Loughlin
Tanya Morgan ... Ilene Thompson

Description: Peter Bogdanovich's first feature film is a thinly disguised account of ex-Marine Charles Whitman who, after murdering his mother and his wife, armed himself with a number of rifles and handguns and, on a sunny 1966 Texas morning, began a shooting spree that killed 14 people and wounded 32 people. Bogdanovich's version tells two stories concurrently, the first one about veteran horror film actor Byron Orlok who is in Los Angeles for the premiere of his new and latest film. He has grown bitter, is tired of the film industry, thinks his type of horror has become passé and wants to retire. Meanwhile, in suburbia, gun-crazy Bobby Thompson goes on a rampage in order to get even with his father by first shooting at people from the top of a water tower and then from behind a drive-in theater screen.
