Your Cheatin' Heart [Remaster]

This movie is the closest thing, to the authentic, Hank Williams' story,about his life, up thru his untimely death.
This is the closest, factual, portrayal, of the Hank Williams' story available. This movie was originally, released back in the 1960's. I remember seeing it on TV, as a child. This DVD is a re-issue, re-mastered, edition of this classic movie. It's not "full screen", but it's definitely, well worth the purchase, for a Hank, fan, like myself. I've studied the history of Hank Williams, and I know his life's story very well.

This movie starts off with Hank as a young boy, shinning shoes, and singing, while his Black,"Street Musician",Bluesman friend "Tee-Tot", plays the guitar. "Tee-Tot" is very impressed with Hank's singing, and how the "word's & original", songs, just naturally come to him. "Tee-Tot" (Rufus Payne) is the black man who taught Hank, how to play the guitar.

Your Cheatin' Heart (Remaster)
This movie is one of my all time favorites and remastering has given it high quality in DVD.

have it arrive in Black & White.
All of Hank Williams numbers in the movie are done by Hank Williams Jnr. and he sings exactly like his father.
If you enjoy Hank Williams then this is the Movie to have, covering his whole short life having sadly passed away at 29 years old.

No Accuracy, But Pretty Entertaining
I bought this for my husband, a huge Hank Williams fan, mostly so he could have the fun of telling me about its monstrous factual inaccuracies. However, it doesn't claim to be a documentary, and we both found it surprisingly entertaining, with a better script and acting than you get in many musician biopics of the era. I expected George Hamilton to be the parody of himself I think of him as, but he turns in a solid performance (not including the songs--they're freshly recorded, remarkably, by then-15-year-old Hank Williams Jr.). If you're a Williams fan, it won't hurt your collection, and it's pretty good for the old-movie buff.
