Storyline
Patsy Cline was the first female solo artist to be elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Thirty-two years after her untimely death in a plane crash in Tennessee, her "Greatest Hits" album sold over six million copies. Loved by her fans today as much - if not more - than she was at the height of her fame, the life, the loves and most of all the voice of Patsy Cline is legendary. This film tells the story of the passionate, fun-loving, soft-spoken, loud-living life of one of country music's - and one of popular music's - greatest singing stars. This film covers the years 1956 through 1963, from her rise to fame and the top of the charts through TB talent shows and country bars - through her turbulent marriage to Charlie Dick and the demands of touring which would lead to the fatal plane crash.

BACKGROUND: I don't really care for "Country & Western Music" , (non-related aside) = especially "Modern Country". Also not really fond of biopics.
This was a biopic of a C&W singer. Recipe for a bad review ?? Nope.
Always enjoyed Jessica Lange and really, really enjoy Patsy Cline's voice/songs. Thankfully Jessica did not sing, but just lip syched the real songs. They sounded stellar. The biopic stuff sucked, and I FF'ed through that.
On balance, I'd rate it 7 of 10 , if it were just the songs and Jessica just standing there, I'd make it 10 of 10.
