GREAT BALLS OF FIRE (1989) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Jim McBride

Written by - Jack Baran, Jim McBride (based on the book by Myra Lewis and Murray Silver Jr.)

Starring - Dennis Quaid, Winona Ryder

 

"This film takes a look at the controversial moment in rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis’ life when he married his 13-year-old cousin – a move that almost killed his career. It’s not exactly the right kind of tribute a rock and roll icon like Jerry Lee Lewis would deserve, nevertheless it’s a piece of almost bizarre entertainment also thanks to the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously."

 

Biopic, USA
