A bittersweet meditation on the aftermath of war, Jayne Mansfield's 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 (Robert Duvall) and then to Kingsley Bedford (John Hurt), 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.

English Billy Bob Thornton is a fairly acclaimed actor, but he did not earn an Oscar for his acting skills; he earned it for the screenplay of the film "Deadly Boomerang," which he also directed. Similarly, his film "Jayne Mansfield's Car" is also an original work. Right from the start, I have to disappoint anyone who thought this would be a film about how Jayne Mansfield died. No, definitely do not expect to see the flying head of a famous actress; on the contrary, there is nothing like that in the film. "Jayne Mansfield's Car" is essentially just a metaphor, a certain point around which the fates of two families revolve. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/02/jayne-mansfields-car-70.html ()
