Storyline

www.jimbronson.com - Jim picks up a beautiful blonde hitchhiker named Valerie, little does he know that her husband is watching and then follows them. Jim befriends a retired newspaper line-a-type operator named Oliver, who loves to talk to people rather than a read the words backwards on a machine. The Indians in the area are upset that the valley they once lived in is now a lake. Valerie is married to a very jealous shoe salesman, who is suffering from a post traumatic stress situation after the Vietnam War. Jim gives a cute girl a ride on his bike and discovers she is a simpleton in her regard for others, he realizes the plight of the American Indian and sees how his involvement with the Valerie has somehow made her realize her own self and not to play the game her husband keeps leading her into. The long lonesome highway calls Jim from the troughs of a triangle. Filmed in Montrose Colorado area. The 3rd Annual reunion of Bronson Garage will be in 20-25 June 2011 in Olathe/Montrose...
