Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Charlie asks Patsy what she's done all day, and she responds, "I've been sipping champagne with Kirk Douglas." When the scene was filmed, Jessica Lange actually said, "I've been sipping champagne with Rock Hudson," but Hudson's AIDS diagnosis was revealed before the film was released, and the producers thought a reference to him would be distracting.
- GoofsIn 1957, Patsy is shown listening to Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love" on the radio, which wasn't a hit until 1961.
- Quotes
Charlie Dick: Hey, I want you to get your coat. I want to drive you some place for a drink. I want us to dance awhile, then I want us to get to know each other a lot better.
Patsy Cline: You want a lot don't you?
Charlie Dick: Yeah I do baby.
Patsy Cline: Well people in hell want ice water - that don't mean they get it.

Featured review
finally a film that displays the tragic life of Patsy Cline
I thought this movie was great. I caught it on TNT and fell in love with the characters. Jessica Lange and Ed Harris portray Patsy and Charlie so well you feel like you are a part of her success and tragic death. It rivals "Coal Miners Daughter" in the telling of country greats. I recommend this for anyone who would like to see Jessica Lange at her best.
