What dreams and demons paced through Hank Williams mind that cold New Years Eve as he lay dying on the back seat of his north-bound Cadillac? Were there glowing images of Audrey, his first wife, and of the son Hank left behind? Did his thoughts flicker to Billie Jean, his flashy new bride? And did he recall the adoring crowds and smiles as they roared at his name? Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave brings these speculations to life. Using Williams last ride as its dramatic context, the movie permits the haunted singer to play one final show, during which all his fears and passions—all his genius and small-mindedness —tumble out for us to see. Still, this is not a grim or preachy drama. Its dark and tragic elements are emotionally balanced by Williams folksy charm, sly wit and classic songs. 'Sneezy' Waters plays the self-destructive superstar—and performs 23 songs—with profound sympathy and understanding. And he captures both Williams vulnerability and vulgarity without reducing him to a caricature of either trait. Adding to the authenticity of the project is the audience of supporting characters who populate the mythical roadhouse where Hank Williams confronts the life he has made—just as its ending." - Edward Morris, Country Music Editor, Billboard Magazine A Simcom Presentation, A Film Consortium of Canada Production Screenplay by Maynard Collins, based on his original stage play.
