Seems to achieve an astonishing rebirth in the transposition of a play from stage to screen. It is also a rebirth for Robert Altman, who has fashioned a stirring comeback, revitalizing his technique and presumably his career. Full Review

...A pleasant surprise....It's the filmmakers most accessible and enjoyable film since NASHVILLE...

Unfortunately, it is a Whitman's sampler of every negative stereotype imaginable. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Dreamlike and bleakly real, fantastical and humorous, it sucks us into a vortex for two hours where all we care about is the lives of these characters. Full Review

Product Description:

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.
