Scott W Remember it faintly. Good story Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/21 Full Review Audience Member Remember it faintly Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/20 Full Review brian s The music is remarkable. And the man had his troubles. 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good bio-pic about hank williams sr Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review ashley h 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
