Set in an Arkansas college town, the film portrays the reaction of the citizens of the town when they hear that James Dean has died in a car crash. Jimmy J. (Richard Thomas), a young man who idolizes Dean, is particularly affected.
The New York Times called the film, "funny, solemn, dead-on-accurate."[1]
