And their memories trigger flashbacks to the time twenty years earlier when the proximity of James Dean served as a catalyst in all of their lives, giving some the courage to realize their dreams and others, the timid ones, the courage at least to dream them.
JIMMY DEAN was a Broadway play before it was a movie, and Altman, who directed it first on stage, stays pretty close here to Ed Graczyk's script.
JIMMY DEAN's script also requires some fancy footwork, as we reel beneath a series of predictable revelations in the last twenty minutes.

 ‘Come Back to the Five & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean’ (Review) By ELAINE CLARK McCARTHY Sentinel theater writer IN ...
On a more superficial level, the play is about the members of a little fan club, "The Disciples of James Dean," who’ve returned to their tiny, drought-withered hometown in Texas because of a vow they made to gather again on the 20th anniversary of his death.
The drought and its accompanying heat loom large, and as various murky half-secrets come to light a storm approaches with lightning and thunder, seeming to promise relief at last from the purgatorial torments of the previous weather.
What fascinated me was the fact that all of the secrets coming to light were about the men in these women’s lives, men who weren’t on stage at all, men who weren’t what they were supposed to be, men the women had been lying to themselves about all their lives.

 Show - Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean
"...JIMMY DEAN can only be described as the result of my own observations and frustrations with progress that ignores a past; the lack of personalization and pride and the recurring need of people to build facades to conceal the truths of their lives.
The inspiration for COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN came many years ago during my five year association with the Midland Community Theatre in west Texas.
The only remaining evidence of the film was the facade of the mansion Reata used to film the on location scenes, now crumbling and supported by six telephone poles.
