Quote:

Upstart rock 'n' roll singer Jerry Lee Lewis (Dennis Quaid) has just cut a record at Sun Studio. Jerry's cousin, pastor Jimmy Swaggart (Alec Baldwin), tries to steer him away from a depraved life in the music business, but Jerry was born to play the so-called "devil's music." With rock 'n' roll king Elvis Presley busy with military service, Jerry sees his chance to claim the throne of popular music. But, his unabashed love of his 13-year-old cousin, Myra (Winona Ryder), may ruin his chances.

Given today's climate, this release is a bit of a surprise.

Saw this in the theater as a small child and enjoyed it even then. Definitely will get this one.

It's an enjoyable movie for Jerry Lee Lewis fans. Quaid is pretty good in it.

^^ Can't say I'm in love with that cover. Would have been a good case for using the poster art!
Day One purchase, regardless.

Love the film, Quaid channels "The Killer" wonderfully.

Olive is rather hit and miss with their cover art, mostly miss in my opinion

I think they and Twilight Time have a competition going. It's like "Adventures With Photoshop For Beginners".

Can anyone confirm the 2.0 is stereo? The review certainly doesn't, but it does mention a remaster could improve balance, among other issues, but if I could have just got that little extra word stereo.

I know it should be stereo, but you never really know with these second tier releases.
