Synopsis

Watch: The Buddy Holly Story 1978 123movies, Full Movie Online – The musical career of rock and roll pioneer Buddy Holly is chronicled, from the days when “Peggy Sue” was “Cindy Lou”, a song about his first girlfriend, to the meteoric run of “That’ll Be the Day” up the charts, to his marriage, breakup with the Crickets, reunion with the Crickets, and untimely death..
Plot: A chronicle of the rise and brief career of rock ‘n’ roll star Buddy Holly, who aspires to play music the way he wants it to sound. Holly and his band, the Crickets, are first invited to record in Nashville, where they encounter creative differences with the producing staff. Later they play a major booking at the Apollo Theater, scheduled there under the mistaken assumption that they’re a black band. Holly’s career eventually goes solo — until the tragic day the music dies.

Not very factual, but the music rocks and so does Gary Busey
I turned 13 when Elvis hit the big times in 1956 with his first RCA hit. A year later Buddy Holly stepped in to give the King some competition. One of Buddy’s major talents, besides his unique singing style and his songwriting ability, is often downplayed. Buddy was also a skilled lead guitar player, developing a unique rockabilly style all his own on his Fender Strat. Gary Busey attempts to capture this aspect of Buddy’s persona. There were other contemporary master guitar rockers of equal caliber, such as Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, and Eddie Cochran, but Buddy’s talent is often overlooked.

As noted by others, Busey is the driving force behind the success of “The Buddy Holly Story.” Not only does the script play with the facts of Buddy’s life, but it even interjects several anachronisms for the two years of Buddy’s popularity, basically 1957-1959. One that comes to mind is the scene where Buddy and Maria are watching a 3-D movie. Buddy is disenchanted with it all and tells Maria that it’ll never last. It’s just a fad. In reality there were no 3-D movies in circulation at the time. The heyday for 3-D was in the early 1950’s. By 1955 the fad had already faded. Yet another example where just a little research would have sufficed to make the story more believable.

At times it is difficult to separate what really happened from urban legends surrounding Buddy’s career. The story about how the Crickets got their name may or may not be apocryphal, but it certainly did not take place the way it is presented in the movie. Another problem with the film is how Buddy’s parents are depicted. Certainly Buddy’s parents were supportive of his musical career. “Maybe Baby” is credited to Buddy’s mother and she did have input into the writing of the song.

It’s good that Buddy’s biggest hits were used in the movie, but I miss hearing one of my favorites, “I’m Looking For Someone to Love.” I’m proud that as a result of this movie, Buddy’s music was reissued for a new generation to hear. His legacy is one of the very best from the early days of rock ‘n’ roll. Rave on, Buddy, rave on.

Something is definitely wrong when all you can say is it’s ‘competent’
Energetic but superficial musical-biography on the life and career of late-’50s rock & roll singer Buddy Holly, who eventually perished in an infamous plane crash. A triumph for a surprisingly-lean Gary Busey in the lead as Holly, quietly driven, focused and enigmatic, but the script by Robert Gitler is nothing more than a shallow examination of stardom, full of sub-plots that go no place and supporting characters who serve little purpose. Director Steve Rash helps create moments that pop–and he’s a spirited filmmaker–but the second-half of the picture really falls off. Overall a decent film, and certainly competent (that dreaded word), but nothing to get excited about, and that’s a shame. ** from ****
