Rock historians and hard-core Buddy Holly fans can and do take issue with director Steve Rash's 1978 biopic of the Lubbock, Texas, rocker's life: the script liberally juggles details from Holly's brief but blazing career, replacing producer Norman Petty and Holly's original bassist and drummer with fictionalized composite characters. Yet the core of the film, and the reason it's definitely worth a look and listen, is Gary Busey's lusty performance in the title role, triumphing against what might have seemed miscasting.
The burly, lantern-jawed Busey steps into the lankier, narrow-faced Holly's blue suede shoes and dances off with the movie. At a time when live rock albums thought little of overdubbing mistakes in the studio, director Rash honored Busey's nervy gamble in performing these songs live, singing in his own raw voice and rumbling through his own approximations of Holly's guitar work. What's lost in precise verisimilitude is more than compensated by Busey's conviction and a palpable, almost ecstatic terror as he charges through Holly's wonderful songs before indifferent roller-rink audiences.
Other films have nailed the period more accurately through art direction or script, but Busey's authentic energy gives this movie an emotional veracity that's just right for this chapter in rock history. Still, for musical purposes, go straight to the source, Holly's wonderful recordings.--Sam Sutherland

I never knew Buddy Holly but if he were alive today I would definately go see him after seeing this movie of his career. His music would have surpassed Elvis Pressley if he had live . The movie was a short biography of his musical career and all I can say it was a fantastic movie and the music was fabulous

Despite that a lot of factual information was omitted from this portrait of Buddy Holly, this movie is a compelling, insightful portrait of the mesmerizing character of Buddy Holly himself. Sure, there are glaring omissions concerning the real Crickets and Norm Petty, the 'manager' that helped Buddy get his start--nevertheless, the portrait Gary Busey paints of Buddy is a fascinating, driving and complex picture of an immensely talented, driven, and totally amazing young man who had an unerring faith ...

Having been a professional musician for 47 years, this film takes me back to a wonderfully innocent era. The opening scene had me in tears - my very first gigs were at the local skating rink sock hops. I really didn't think Busey would be able to pull this off, but it has got to be one of his finest performances - my other favorite being his portrayal of the road manager in "A Star Is Born". The best thing about this film is is that Busey is actually doing the playing and singing....no cheesy lip-sync...and ... Read More

This is a keeper! If you like good music, or good acting or just feeling good, this is the movie for you. Gary Busey plays Buddy Holly with style, and he sings and plays all by himself. All music in the movie is live, by the way. The rest of the cast is brilliant too.
This movie claims to be more or less the true story about Buddy's rise to fame, and terrible death, and from what I can see it's pretty accurate. The DVD quality isn't the best, but it's definitely on the top half of the scale. Remember, it's ... Read More
