The music of Hank Williams presented was great and if you can get over the fact that the producers made a mockery of Hank Williams legacy by having the wimpy George Hamilton play the lead role then maybe, just maybe you will be able to watch the entire film. Unfortunately the film bares little resemblance.to the hardships that the real Hank Williams lived through and the demons he carried until his unexpected death at the young age of only 29. Years of back pain, alcoholism, and prescription drug abuse severely compromised Williams's health. With his stardom rising and falling like a yo-yo due to his demons and his inability to stay sober and meet his contractual obligations one of his greatest pains and embarrassments was when the Grand 'Old Opry dismissed him from appearing any more, He was on his second wife and the producers couldn't even stick to the correct timelines upon his death notification and cause of death.
I enjoyed the music, but I take offense when producers attempt to "create" their own story and timelines when filming a biography of an iconic entertainer whose music is historical and his written style will certainly be coped for future centuries of musicians.
I can only give the film a 5 out of 10 IMDB rating due to their poor choice of signing the anemic and.musically inept George Hamilton.to the lead role. In my view it was as if the same producers would have used a house mouse to play King Kong.
