Robert Altman's stage-to-screen adaptation "COME BACK TO THE 5 & DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN" will be out on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, November 18th.

Set during a reunion of members of a James Dean fan club in Texas, the cast includes Cher, Kathy Bates, Karen Black, and Sandy Dennis.

"COME BACK TO THE 5 & DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN" has not been released on DVD/Blu-ray -- until now.

After directing a celebrated New York stage production of "COME BACK TO THE 5 & DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN", legendary filmmaker Robert Altman (Nashville, 3 Women) gave the play the full cinematic treatment. Actresses Dennis, Golden Globe-nominee Cher, Black, and Bates all reprised their stage roles, and the results are a magical convergence of theatre and film.

This special edition DVD/Blu-ray includes an exclusive video interview with playwright and screenwriter Ed Graczyk, who recalls the evolution of the play and its turbulent journey from stage to screen.

SYNOPSIS: A group of James Dean devotees reconvene at their teenage hangout, a rural Texas drugstore, twenty years after the death of their beloved idol. But much has changed in the intervening years, and the reunion provides them one final opportunity to expose the secrets and heal the emotional wounds that have lingered among them for two decades.
