Sweet Dreams is a 1985 American biographical drama film which tells the story of country music singer Patsy Cline.

[1][2] The film was directed by Karel Reisz, written by Robert Getchell, and stars Jessica Lange, Ed Harris, Ann Wedgeworth, David Clennon, James Staley, Gary Basaraba, John Goodman, and P. J.

After Charlie is drafted into the U.S. Army, Patsy focuses on singing more, and after joining forces with manager Randy Hughes, she becomes a rising star on the country music scene.

This practice was notably used 33 years earlier, when Susan Hayward lip-synced to Jane Froman's vocals in 20th Century Fox's production of With a Song in My Heart.

Leading up to the famous car crash, Patsy was not in fact buying beer, but actually going to pick up material for her mother to make new costumes for her shows.
