DVD Reviews of Patsy Cline - The Real Patsy Cline
DVD Review: Virginia Patterson Hensley (Cline): 9/8/32 - 3/5/63
Summary: 4 Stars
THE REAL PATSY CLINE combines short vintage film clips with modern interview segments and re-enactments to cover salient points in the life of country music's first woman superstar. At the height of her fame, Patsy was show-closer at Grand Ole Opry or wherever she went-- unheard of for a female back then.
We learn of Cline's penchant for hanging out with songwriters at taverns and acting like one of the boys-- telling rude jokes and using salty language. Willie Nelson performs with guitar a song written when he was a starving musician known as Hugh Nelson: "Crazy." Also heard are Loretta Lynn and Mel Tillis.
Carl Perkins offers insights. Widower Bill Cline remembers how he and Patsy would fight and quickly make up. The aftermath of a near fatal car wreck that left her face permanently scarred is vividly illustrated by a hospital room snapshot.
Vintage samples of Miss Cline performing are too brief and get narrated over. Major points off for that.
Dottie West, who Cline called "Hoss," warned Patsy against flying shortly before the Piper Comanche she was a passenger in crashed in a forest outside Camden, TN. due to intense storms. Not recounted was that Roger Miller searched frantically through the woods for Cline's plane and was first to find it. The Piper went in nose first-- all aboard were dead. After body recovery was completed, scavengers picked the crash site clean.
Along with performers Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins, plus her manager/pilot Randy Hughes, Patsy Cline perished just after 6 pm on 3/5/63. She was 30 years old.

Summary: 4 Stars
"The Real Patsy Cline" is a good overview of Cline's all too brief career. Director Mark Hall uses the interview as his primary tool to tell Patsy Cline's story. Interviewees include band mates, friends, family members and people who were a part of her life. Recognizable names include Loretta Lynn, Mel Tillis and Carl Perkins. In addition to interviews, original TV footage is shown. Beyond this, there is some quasi-reenactment material. Both video footage and photographs combine to tell her story. Significant time is spent on the events surrounding her last plane trip. Overall, the film does a good job of telling her story. A good biography should give the viewer a feel of who the subject was, what made the biographee tick and what the subject was like as a person. In an entertaining and informative way, "The Real Patsy Cline" accomplishes these goals. On the down side, the production is low budget. The 1986 program sometimes has that corny 1980's feel. This is easily forgivable since the substance is so strong. "The Real Patsy Cline" is not only a good introduction to Cline, but it is a celebration of her life. DVD Review: The Real Patsy Cline
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this video. In the video people who worked with her shared things about Patsy as well as her husband, daughter, and her neighbor. It gives you insight on how hard patsy worked for her fame and how Patsy was an ordinary person but wasn't one to hold back if someone got in her way.DVD Review: Sweet Dreams Follow Up
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Patsy. I bought two documentaries the same day, one was this, the other was the anthology. I watch the movie Sweet Dreams with Jessica Lange over and over and always wondered what Charlie Dick was really like and what happended to him and the children. The Real Patsy Cline DVD has more of this. The Anthology DVD is more live video of Patsy. I enjoyed it, but not as much as The Real Patsy Cline. It depends on what you are looking for. Interviews with family members, get The Real Patsy Cline, if you want live video of Patsy back in "the day", get the anthology. Hope this helps.DVD Review: The Real patsy Cline
Summary: 5 Stars
Another fascinating documentary on Patsy Cline, it also is very haunting as well, as it re-enacts the events that lead up to her final tragic flight on March 5, 1963, also the haunting piano music that was played in those sequences as well.
