Overview
It's 1956 and Hollywood has arrived in Natchez, Mississippi with its brightest stars to film Raintree County.
Meanwhile at Clemmie's, a Natchez tea room, the widowed proprietor who
has a fascination with movies and a secret admirer, oversees her own
cast of characters: Tootie, her take charge friend; Jo Beth, a former
beauty queen; Glease, a man more comfortable with women than macho men,
and Marjorie, an unethical social climber. Competition for a small role
in the movie brings out the best and worst of these memorable
characters. Twists, turns and revelations lead Clemmie to trade a moment
of fame for love and the chance to impact the lives of people dear to
her.
