I won't go into great detail but have to say I was personally involved with this movie as I had a small part in it and while it's not a "home run" hit it was a pleasure working with Jessica Lange, Ed Harris, and John Goodman, as well as Anne Wedgeworth. Everyone was kind and approachable and very professional. I was allowed to attend the private premiere in Nashville Tn where it opened to many stars and family members who were in attendance. Personally, I'd rate the film a 7 out of 10 stars. The music was great and the story although did not cover all aspects of Patsy Cline's life, as an abbreviated version it told a beautiful but troubled account of her life. The love portrayed between Pasty and Charlie along with heart tugging music at times was touching and what sells the movie I think.
... View MoreIt is impossible to hear Patsy Cline sing without being emotionally involved. Few singers have this ability to transcend the Art and make it an Epiphany. Anyone who is not moved by listening to this Earth Angel's Voice is immovable. It is so Heavenly, in fact, that one might even question why a such an Inspirational Talent was taken so soon.A Diva with Talent as Divine as any Humans could be. So it was a given that no one, no matter how talented, could convincingly stand in vocally. That is one of the strengths of the Movie, the Songs, all original recordings.Also, there are three Actors that are remarkable with Jessica Lange, Ed Harris and Ann Wedgeworth all giving memorable Performances. It is top heavy on Marital Affairs and Home Life making it far too Soapy for Music and Industry Fans, because the choice here is to portray this Story like a Country Music Song. But in the end it is the Singing Voice of Patsy Cline that is absolutely unforgettable.

Jessica Lange was not a great actress then (She became one), but she was so hot! I went to see "Sweet Dreams" when it came out because, by that time, Ms. Lange had become a great actress. It looked like a wonderful story. And she's always exciting to see.I never walked out of a movie faster. My wife concurred.When we got into the car, I turned to her, and said, "If you had told me I would get bored watching Jessica Lange take her clothes off, I would have said your crazy. I just got bored watching Jessice Lange take her clothes off!" How bad is that?
... View MoreThis movie was great. Iam a big Patsy Cline fan. She was wonderful. Even though she died 12 years before I was born, shes still the best singer I ever heard. & my all time favorite country singer. At the end where they showed the plane crash. I thought that was to sad. & maybe they should have left that part out, but I guess they had to show it, so they can show us what happened to Patsy. I have this movie on DVD. I've always been a patsy Cline fan. & always will be. Its one of my favorite movies. I always wonder what Charlie & there 2 children are doing now. & if Charlie really did hit her like it shows in the movie. Someday I want to go to winchester Va, See her hometown & see where shes buried, & also to the country music hall of fame in Nashville & see her things that are there. Thats my dream.
