NOTES Story of country star, Loretta Lynn, rising from poverty to

world fame. Interesting especially for the portrait of poverty in

Kentucky and the portrayal by Sissy Spacek. Even if you hate

country music this film rises above such prejudice (or taste).

At the height of her fame Lynn has a nervous breakdown

resulting from overwork and her strained marriage.
