The 1964 film distributed by Howco International is packed with stars. There’s no plot, but who cares. It was financed and produced by Hank Williams’ widow, Audrey. Unfortunately she sings a couple songs in the film. Despite the title, it was filmed in Nashville. It does feature a “Home Movie” of Hank Williams … shown by singer Hank Snow backstage to Hank Williams, Jr. In reality, it’s a clip from Williams appearance on the Kate Smith Evening Hour in 1951.
