The Buddy Holly Story
Newly Added
•
1h 54m
Directed by Steve Rash • 1978 • United States
Starring Gary Busey, Don Stroud, Charles Martin Smith
An Oscar-nominated Gary Busey gives one of the most electrifying portrayals of a musician ever committed to the screen in this irresistible portrait of Buddy Holly, the bespectacled genius from Lubbock, Texas, who changed the tune of rock ’n’ roll history. With a groundbreaking combination of country music and rhythm and blues, Buddy Holly and the Crickets shot to national stardom in just three short years with hits such as “That’ll Be the Day,” “It’s So Easy,” and “Peggy Sue.” By the age of twenty-two, Holly had it all: chart-topping singles, a whirlwind marriage, and international acclaim—until tragedy ended a brilliant career, but not his legacy.
