Pure Country (DVD, 1998, Dual Sided; Widescreen/Pan & Scan)

After 25 chart-topping hits, the singing star becomes a movie star! George Strait makes his film debut in an entertaining look into the heart and soul of country music from Young Guns director Christopher Cain.
Superstar Dusty Chandler (Strait) is tired of the smoke, the strobe lights and the overmiked sound of his arena spectaculars. One night, something snaps. "I'm just going to take a little walk," Dusty says as he walks out of the empty hall, ditching his beard, ponytail - and temporarily, his career - to reclaim his down-home country roots. But his manager (Leslie Ann Warren) retaliates: a stand-in (Kyle Chandler) lip-synchs his songs in concert. And a romance with a lovely rancher (Isabel Glasser) is on again, off again like a rodeo cowboy. The simple life can be complex, but it's nothing a revitalized country boy can't handle!

This is a sweet movie and a thoughtful film. Country singer on the verge of being jaded takes some time to return to his 'roots'. Romance comes to him unexpectedly with a talented rodeo rider who does not know his fame. I feel as if I know these people. The songs are great and they work really well with the story. I never tire of watching this film. I have stayed up too many nights when it is on late on the Country channel. Finally I just bought my own DVD. Enjoy. George Strait is quietly charming. Susan Sarandon is on-target as an aggressive manager with heart buried deep. And Leslie Ann Warren is a feisty, sexy, hell-yeah sweetheart. No wonder George falls for her.

George Strait, Lesley Ann Warren and Isabel Glasser
star in this 1992 drama. A country singer goes back
to his roots and finds romance. I've always liked this
film and George is terrific in it. This dvd has good
picture and sound, but only trailers. I recommend
this great drama.

This heart-warming story about a Country music star takes you to the Heartland. In this film, Dusty(George Strait) finds out what Country music is really all about. He finds his roots and he finds a new love and life. The actors are great, the music is even better. Your blood will boil, your eyes may water, you'll sing along and you fall in love with, most of, the characters. The music business can be real tough. In this film George Strait and even a few of his band and crew learn to stand up for what they believe in. Truly a great film. This film also includes a biography of George Strait and an album listing.

COUNTRY SINGER HAS ALL THE FAME AND FORTUNE AND GLITTER BUT HE NOW GIVES IT UP SO HE CAN HAVE THE LIFE HE SINGS ABOUT IN HIS SONGS. LOTS OF GEORGE STRIAGHT MUSIC THOUGHOUT THE MOVIE , KIND OF LIKE A MUSICAL MOVIE
