That Hollywood (and yes it 's Hollywood, when the studios were still in control) made this movie at all speaks to the tremendous influence Hank had on American music. See more 03/21/2014 good bio-pic about hank williams sr See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 05/03/2011 Your Cheatin' Heart is a wonderful film. It is about Hank Williams Sr. George Hamilton and Susan Hamilton give amazing performances. The script is well written. The music is great to listen to. Gene Nelson did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and music. See more 12/01/2009 This was a terrible movie. Audrey Williams (Hank Williams wife) used it as a springboard for Hank Williams Jr's career. (He did the singing) As it turns out, that is the only thing good that came from this disaster. And who chose George Hamilton? Shame on you whoever it was. Shame on you. Hank must have truly spun in his grave when this was made. See more Read all reviews
