Sinossi:

IN BREVE:

Un giovane nell'Alabama del 1940 perde la sua famiglia: la moglie lo abbandona per un altro e si trasferisce in Inghilterra. Passano trent'anni e alla morte di lei, viene fuori una lettera in cui chiede di essere seppellita in Alabama. La famiglia di origine e la nuova famiglia inglese si incontreranno e tenteranno di fare i conti col passato...

SHORT SYNOPSIS:

A young man in the 1940s raises a family in Alabama after his wife leaves him for an Englishman and moves to England. When the wife dies, she leaves a request to be brought back to Alabama to be buried, and at that point the man hasn't seen her in nearly 30 years. The two families - her original family she abandoned and her English family - meet and make an attempt to adjust to each other, with uneven results.

IN OTHERS WORDS:

An ensemble drama about families, JAYNE MANSFIELD’S CAR looks at two colourful clans in 1969. Brought together by the death of a woman who was married, first to the Southern American Jim Caldwell (Robert Duvall) and then to the British Kingsley Bedford (John Hurt), Naomi’s families meet for the first time at the Caldwells’ Alabama home with uneasy curiosity. The culture clash of the Nineteen Sixties, and of the Old World versus the Old South, become a backdrop for the Caldwells’ and the Bedfords’ heartfelt and sometimes hilarious struggles with long-held resentments, family rivalries and secrets, and the memories of war and how it shaped three generations of fathers and sons..
