This routine biopic of Country music legend Dottie West is O.K. - apart from the fact that the VOICE, SOUL & PASSION are missing. To be fair, I think her unique qualities were just too subtle to capture on film.
Michele Lee, playing the star, comes over as a cross between (in her early scenes with Patsy Cline) Mae West and (later) Tina Turner, with little of the tenderness, not to mention emotional scars that must have existed (following the tragic childhood abuse at the hands of her father).
The best scene for me is the studio recording of EVERY TIME TWO FOOLS COLLIDE, with Kenny Rogers, but, even here, Ms. Lee makes Kenny sound great, whereas, on the record, Dottie makes him sound ordinary.
For fans of Dottie West, I would say, forget this & stick to your CD's. For non-fans, please don't be put off - there was a whole lot more to the lady than this - ESPECIALLY the voice.
P.S. The recollections of Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson, etc. are good and, personally, I'd have much preferred these, coupled with clips of the real thing.

Fast service but bad product
6 Jan 2009
Format:VHS Tape
I purchased this movie in December. It was a present for somebody and it came in a plain dvd box with the title spelled wrong. After Christmas when my mom tried to play the movie mid way through it stopped working. I paid 100.00 for a piece of junk. The seller was very fast in shipping it out, and I know she ordered it through somebody else, however I feel she needs to take responsibilty for it, no response to my email was given.
