Region 4

ayne Mansfield’s Car is a 2012 drama film directed by Billy Bob Thornton, marking his first fiction directing job since 2000’s All the Pretty Horses. Thornton also stars alongside Robert Duvall, John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Ray Stevenson, Frances O’Connor, Ron White, and Robert Patrick.

The film is set in 1969 Morrison, Alabama. The Caldwell family includes two World War II veterans, their sister Donna, brother Jimbo and a patriarch, Jim, who is a World War I veteran. The Caldwells are involved in a cultural clash with the Bedfords, a family which includes Phillip, a World War II veteran, his sister Camilla, and their father Kingsley, also a World War I veteran.

The Bedfords are a London family in Morrison for the funeral of Kingsley’s wife, who is the ex-wife of Jim Caldwell and the mother of Caldwell’s children. Duvall described the film in an interview as “putting Tennessee Williams in the back seat”.[8]

The film’s title refers to the automobile in which movie star Jayne Mansfield was supposedly decapitated in 1967. When a nearby town has a side show displaying the vehicle, Jim Caldwell takes Kingsley Bedford along to gawk at the grisly artifact.

About this product

Product Information

A bittersweet meditation on the aftermath of war, Jayne Mansfields Car looks at two families, one Southern & one British, in Alabama in 1969. Brought together by the death of a woman who was married first to Jim Caldwell and then to Kingsley Bedford, the families struggle with long-held resentments, jealousy, fear of growing old and, most poignantly, the tension between three generations of fathers and sons whose notions of manhood are shaped by their exposure to combat, its myths and realities.
