Movie: The Buddy Holly Story (1978)
Tagline: Music never felt this good.
Trivia: The members of the Crickets had already sold their portrayal rights to the producer of a different Buddy Holly movie, so fictitious names had to be used for the Crickets here. Also, for story simplifcation, the three Crickets were reduced to two.
Goofs: Factual errors: Buddy Holly played the Fender Stratocaster guitar. In the movie, he plays a Telecaster.
“The musical career of 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.
