With COME BACK TO THE 5 & DIME JIMMY
DEAN, JIMMY DEAN, Robert Altman began to turn to theatrical plays
as source material for his films, with the filmed plays STREAMERS
and SECRET HONOR following in the wake of ...JIMMY DEAN by
playwright Ed Graczyk. The film concerns a group of women who
reunite in their hometown of McCarthy, Texas in 1975 to hold a
twenty-year reunion of their James Dean fan club. In 1955, they
were an excited group of high school graduates who eagerly
anticipated their hero's arrival in a nearby town to film GIANT. As
the story unfolds, the friends--Mona (Sandy Dennis), Sissy (Cher),
Stella Mae (Kathy Bates), Edna Louise (Marta Heflin), and Juanita
(Sudie Bond) reminisce fondly about the past, but when a mysterious
woman arrives (Karen Black), a series of shocking revelations
threatens to ruin the reunion. The actresses imbue their characters
with a tragic honesty that makes their eventual confessions all the
more heartbreaking and poignant (notably, Dennis's troubled Mona).
Altman, who directed the play both on and off Broadway before
deciding to film it, employs visual dissolves, and mirrors to add a
cinematic layering to the production. The result is a powerful,
sobering portrait of a group of women who allowed deception to take
control of their lives.
