I wrote the following 20 June 2009 in a blog that no longer exists.
One way to sum up PB’s career is with the Wellesian cliche: after the first masterpiece it was all downhill.
Targets (1968) is Bogdanovich’s Citizen Kane. It’s a seriously good and important first film. After that he made The Last Picture Show (1971) one of the greatest of all American movies. And then bye-bye PB.
Well, the next film, What’s Up, Doc? (1972) was OK, but really, you have to wonder if the woman-behind-the-man phenomenon applies again here once, and that he was ratshit after he left his wife and co-writer Polly Platt for a 19-yr-young photographic model, Cybill Shepherd, who has also acted a bit since then.
