Directed by Arthur Dreifuss
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Hank Williams Jr stars in this saccharine-coated, juvenile movie about a farm boy who becomes a country music star. The main problem is that while Williams may be able to sing, he can't act. In that respect this resembles an Elvis movie in many ways. You've even got Shelley Fabares as the love interest, the costar of many Elvis movies. The depiction of southern life is very stereotyped and completely unrealistic. Hank sings many, many songs, which is great if you are a fan, not so much if you don't like his crooning drawl.
