Come back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982)
Country: US
Technical: col 110m
Director: Robert Altman
Cast: Sandy Dennis, Karen Black, Cher
Synopsis:
A group of friends meet to commemorate the death of James Dean twenty years previously, at the same time opening up old wounds and looking forward trepidatiously to their future.
Review:
Initially heavy going but finally affecting drama in which three women put each other through the mill of screamed abuse and painful home truths. While the actresses acquit themselves with aplomb, the film suffers from the director's habit of jumping around in time too frequently, as if to justify transposing this theatrical material to the screen.
