The James Dean Story, a 79 minute documentary chronicling the life and times of Jimmy Dean, came out two years after the young actor\u2019s death. Most notably, the film was directed by Robert Altman, a young director who would eventually make MASH, Nashville, The Player, Gosford Park, etc. (Watch the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openculture.com\/2011\/02\/the_james_dean_story_by_robert_altman.html\">James Dean Story by Robert Altman <\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>Robert Altman &#8211; February 20 1927 <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/im2\/altman.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Altman\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/2006\/11\/21\/rip-robert-altman\/\">Previous Post<\/a> : Robert Altman)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(direct link to opening number The Stranger by Leonard Cohen and the Trailer (two songs) &#8220;I thought it was a fine movie.
