THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY (BLU-RAY)

“The story is carried by the unadulterated power of Gary Busey’s original and insightful performance…Busey’s acting gives roots to the lyricism and the uncoiled energy of Holly’s songs.”
?Michael Sragow, The New Yorker

“Fine biopic which showcases a brilliant performance by Busey as Holly, and conveys a real, raw feeling for the music…Streets ahead of most rock celluloid.”
?Time Out London

The Buddy Holly Story (1978) sketches the tale of the rock-and-roll legend, a Texas boy (combustively incarnated by a super-charged, OscarR-nominated Gary Busey) whose musical imagination changed the face of popular music. Busey and his on-screen band mates (Charles Martin Smith, Don Stroud) played and sang Holly’s landmark songs (including “That’ll Be the Day,” “Maybe Baby,” “Peggy Sue,” and “Not Fade Away”) live for the film, which won an Academy AwardR for Joe Renzetti for Best Musical Score Adaptation.
