Sweet Dreams (DVD) She 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, Patsy Cline's "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. SWEET DREAMS tells her story. Marrying the unique singing voice of Patsy Cline, with a powerhouse performance by Jessica Lange, director Karel Reisz creates an extraordinary portrait of the passionate, fun-loving, soft-spoken, loud-living life and times of one of country's - and one of popular music's greatest singing stars. Covering the years 1956through 1963, from her rise to fame and the top of the charts through TV 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, this remarkable story is one that will be treasured by fans old and new. A celebration of the talent we love, and the story of Patsy Cline. Review: Good buy on an almost forgotten movie gem. - Very satisfied with the purchase and the seller. The movie got some fairly harsh criticism when released, but it's actually pretty good. Removing what you might think, one way or another, about the personal views and politics of the two principals, they are excellent and talented actors who gave a great performance about the life of an interesting and talented woman. The price of the DVD was fair, and it was promptly delivered as promised. I only wish it was available at least in Blu Ray, but apparently it isn't. Review: Sweet Dreams Movie - Love Pasty Cline, and this movie is great!! You won't be disappointed!!!!

Good Retelling of the Short Life of Patsy Cline
This is a truly nice retelling of Patsy Cline's way too short lifetime. Lots of good older country music

The music makes this movie
I had just finished Honky Tonk Angel when I'd watched this movie for the second time, so some of the inaccuracies where hard to take. Maybe it was the 80's when women women were just starting to come out of the victim mentality that bothered me so much. Sure Patsy had her ups and downs with her second husband Charlie Dick, but if he was as horrible in real life as he was portrayed in the movie, then a woman strong enough to make it as a singer, surely would have thrown his sorry self out early on. From what I read in the book, Patsy was more than able to handle herself, and was quite coarse herself. On film, she's a sweet victim with an amazing voice. Hardly what her friends said. Patsy actually balked against doing a pop song like Walking After Midnight. She said she felt like a prostitute doing pop. All she wanted to do was country, which she did at first. The film only concentrated on the pop hits she sang, not the country songs she loved so much. Jessica Lange did an outstanding job of portraying Patsy, though she's far too attractive than Patsy ever was. But it was the lip-syncing that was really irritating. I know it's not easy to do, but Jessica Lange isn't even a singer, so she always looked like she was faking it to me. Ed Harris as Charlie Dick was also outstanding. He radiates charm and likeablity, and onscreen, he and Lange look like a real couple in love, yet unable to get along because of their insecurities. They both get it right as a couple, allowing the audience to believe that they just can't keep away from each other. In the end of the film(I'm sure everyone knows the story of how Patsy died by now) the plane crashes into a mountain creating a fireball that destroys everything. In actuality, the pilot(rumored to be having an affair with Patsy) didn't listen and took the plane up in bad weather. Since he was not instrument trained, he got turned upside down and excelerated into the ground. Bodies were found, and people were stealing pieces of the plane and the passengers things right afterwards. Putting this in the movie would have made a more poignant ending. The movie works because of Patsy's music, and the excellent acting and chemistry of Jessica Lange and Ed Harris. With lesser actors, it might not be worth watching.

Plays perfectly on my computer!
I've been after this film for ages after remembering it from a video rented in the 1980's, but have never seen it since. I don't have a player that plays region 1 dvd's so took a chance and ordered hoping I could view it on my computer after reading a review above. I am glad to say that this plays perfectly in my computer. I love the film, the soundtrack is great, the love story between the lead actors is convincing, and Jessica Lange gets it just right. So glad I took the chance, much cheaper than a region 2 DVD

Fabuleux
C'est l'un de mes films fétiches. Dommage que je ne l'aie pas trouvé en français. Histoire très belle, réelle, triste, vraiment à voir. Les acteurs sont sensationnels de crédibilité. Excellente musique.

A rare DVD in Europe with Sweet Jessica-Patsy.
Thanks for letting me enjoy this unique masterpiece! I think I must be just one of the very few to be able to watch it on one of my DVD that allows its viewing. In fact this dvd is made in mexico and I can't watch it on my five dvds except for one branded UNITED. And both the dvd reader and the movie movie are just jewels to be treasured. Jessica-Patsy plays the part just perfectly.

Patsy Cline biography
Did not know a lot about Patsy Cline and her music but loved this movie about her life. Jessica Lange plays Patsy and gives a brilliant performance.
