5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Dreams Follow Up, April 18, 2006

By	Jana Clevenger "iowa2nj" (Point Pleasant, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real patsy Cline, August 24, 2005

By	Michael Russo (Brooklyn NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars She's Got You - so watch this!, August 18, 2007

By	The Delite Rancher (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

"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.
