    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      At one point, Charlie asks Patsy what she's done all day, and she responds, "I've been sipping champagne with Kirk Douglas." When the scene was filmed, Jessica Lange actually said, "I've been sipping champagne with Rock Hudson," but Hudson's AIDS diagnosis was revealed before the film was released, and the producers thought a reference to him would be distracting.
    • Goofs
      The guitar that the singer/MC is using on the "Opry" stage is a Fender acoustic, not available until at least 1966.
    • Quotes
      • Charlie Dick: Hey, I want you to get your coat. I want to drive you some place for a drink. I want us to dance awhile, then I want us to get to know each other a lot better.
      • Patsy Cline: You want a lot don't you?
      • Charlie Dick: Yeah I do baby.
      • Patsy Cline: Well people in hell want ice water - that don't mean they get it.
