1950's era rise to stardom in the south. Typical love story of love found the hard way, ending in tragedy. Tear jerker, but great old country songs from original recordings.

I truly Hope Patsy Cline had more in her life than a bad husband! The movie really does not cover her career, her accomplishments, and her friends. I thought the movie was not good. The person that played Patsy doesn't look anything like her!

This is a biographical look at the life of Patsy Cline (Jessica Lange), one of America's most beloved singers of the 1950's. Her professional singing career was meteoric but her personal life off stage was very different. She had a voice that could turn a simple love song into something that could give you chills down your spine, but just like so many women of that time, she struggled with a troubled marriage, with a violent and abusive husband, Charlie Dick (Ed Harris). While Lange and Harris were both superbly cast for these parts, so was Patsy's mother, Ann Wedgworth, who superbly portrays the solid-core Southern woman whom Patsy is emotionally dependent upon. In truth, Patsy Cline was one of those women who, although tough on the outside, often found herself too emotionally dependent upon others, and was used by all. Her music was her escape from the troubles of her life and with songs like Crazy, Sweet Dreams, Walking After Midnight, and I Fall to Pieces, you have to believe that she was reaching out to the entire country for personal support. Her songs were written by others, but she sang them as though they came straight from her troubled heart. She truly was the voice that defined her time and situation. Although Charlie Dick beat her, abused her, and openly cheated on her, she stood by him until her untimely death in a plane crash. Her music survives her to this day, and to this day she is truly missed by many.Read full review
Pasty died when I was ten years old...I don't remember it at the time, but have loved her voice and music forever. This movie is a quick look into her life and struggles.

A good movie with wonderful music. Patsy was so talented and had a great voice. Another great entertainer that was gone way, way too soon.
