As someone who just recently watched Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, I would say it's something that should be seen for a few reasons. The film was ahead of its time, featuring an almost entirely female cast. There is also a very current issue that I thought was handled very well.

The film is based on a play and it really feels like one. Lastly, it features two very early performances by Cher and Kathy Bates. The highlight of the film is Sandy Dennis, who gives a really haunting performance. It's a shame she passed away so early at the age of 54 due to cancer.

You know me! I like using this tournament as a way to build my collection. I love finding movies out in the wild, so it gives me more stuff to search for. In this case, thank you for letting us know it's on YouTube. I have added the laserdisc version to my eBay cart though.
