Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean... LE 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray brings Robert Altman’s emotionally rich and deeply nostalgic ensemble drama to 4K UHD for the first time through Vinegar Syndrome’s Cinématographe line.
 
On the twentieth anniversary of James Dean’s death, members of a small-town Texas fan club reunite inside a Woolworth’s five-and-dime store to reflect on the past, revisit old wounds and confront long-buried truths. As memories resurface over the course of one sweltering day, friendships fracture, secrets emerge and the idealized nostalgia surrounding their youth slowly gives way to heartbreak, regret and personal revelation.
 
Adapted from Ed Graczyk’s stage play and directed by Robert Altman shortly before a remarkable run of stage-to-screen adaptations, Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean... features an extraordinary ensemble cast including Cher, Karen Black, Sandy Dennis and Kathy Bates. Blending theatrical intimacy with Altman’s layered emotional storytelling, the film stands as one of the director’s most underrated works and a groundbreaking entry in queer and trans representation in American cinema.
