May 30 - June 22, 2008
Director: Michael Sandner
In a small town dime store in West Texas, the Disciples of James
Dean gather for their twentieth reunion. Now middle aged women,
they were teenagers when Dean filmed Giant two decades ago in nearby
Marfa. One of them, an extra in the film, has a child whom she says
was conceived by Dean on the set; the child is the Jimmy Dean of
the title. The ladies' reminiscences mingle with flash backs to
their youth; then the arrival of a stunning and momentarily unrecognized
woman sets off a series of confrontations that upset their self
deceptions and expose their well hidden disappointments. "Full
of home spun humor [and] ... surefire comic gems." N.Y. Post.
"Captures convincingly the atmosphere of the 1950s." W.W.D.
