Jayne Mansfield's Car

Billy Bob Thornton returns to the director’s chair, also co-writing and starring in this period drama set in 1969 Alabama. Thornton plays Skip, one of three sons to Jim Caldwell (Robert Duvall), whose quirky obsession with car accidents is interrupted by the death of his ex-wife, who had been living in England. Cultures clash when her British relatives arrive for the funeral, with conflicts erupting between Jim and sons Skip, Carroll (Kevin Bacon), and Jimbo (Robert Patrick). Eccentric outing co-stars John Hurt, Shawnee Smith. 121 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish.
