He's helped and hindered by friends and staff, but pushes on in his search for a real music style as well as a real romance.

I love this movie so much
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Gamecocks said it very well - if you don't get goose bumps during the final scene of this movie you can't be human. That must explain why I have watched that scene about 50 times on Utube. You can find it by entering 'Utube I cross my heart' on the AOL search bar. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. I have also watched the entire movie more than five times - and if you don't want to purchase the DVD, you can watch it on Utube for nothing. One scene involves Wyatt, Dusty's off stage name, being given a beat down by Al outside a bar in the evening when it was raining, since Al was annoying Harley. Wyatt ends up in the mud, looking up at Harley. Harley gets Al away from Wyatt by pinching his hand in the door of her truck and then slamming the door in his face, breaking his nose. By the way, by now I have fallen in love with Harley,and likely will always love her. Harley takes Wyatt to her home, and invites him to breakfast. When Wyatt sees Al driving up in his pickup, then annoying Harley again, he walks out to where they are. Al, who has tape on his nose and a bandage on his right hand, asks Wyatt if he wants another beat down. Wyatt shoves Al, who is much bigger than Wyatt is, and Wyatt says 'absolutely', a great use of a word reflecting the quality of this film. Al swings his fist at Wyatt, but Wyatt ducks under it, then breaks Al's nose for a second time. On his way back to Harley's house, Wyatt steps on Al's injured hand.
In this his first movie role, George Strait does an outstanding job as one of his fictitious counterparts who is very frustrated with all the panache connected with the performances-i.e., he doesn't like all the smoke and the lights, but just wants to play his guitar and sing. Because of the frustration he just wants "to take a walk", and so he does. As a basic rule, I am not a country music fan, but this movie has some sort of appeal to it. It's a touching story about an unhappy man who really just wants to find true love. He performs well the many songs he sings in this movie. And, Lesley Ann Warren and Kyle Chandler give strong support as people easy to want to kill because of their crooked shenanigans. The seasoned veteran actor Rory Calhoun (and I grew up on his movies) acts well the part of a run-down rancher who's tired of ranching, and Isabel Glasser is a lovely young lady who, though a pistol at times, is adorable. This is a movie I can't see too often, so good to me personally.
I was Living in Terrell Tx when this movie was filmed at Don Gay's ranch (former PBR champ) on County rd 353 i believe. I watched the filming of this movie and every time it is on TV i watch it or at least flick back and forth. It is a good movie to watch when you need to clear your head because as he is reminiscing you do the same. I highly recommend this movie for anyone. The Story line in this movie is one of the best that i have seen it ties in friendship, and relationship and shows that no matter how bad things seem to be sometimes if you follow your roots you can rediscover who you really are and that is important these days. The whole family can watch this movie. It is not only worth watching but a worth wild add to your DVD collection
This is a wonderful and romantic movie. If you like country western music, this is for you. I have seen it at least a half a dozen times. George Strait has surprised me with his acting ability. he is such a wonderful country singer and I may mention that looking at him is eye candy too.I love the story. It contains no porno nor violence which is refreshing to me. Of course, this movie was made in 1992. Women and men both enjoy this film. After going to the theater to view it, I went out and purchased it. I think you will agree with me. You will probably go out and purchase the sound track CD.
