Always...Patsy Cline
by Ted Swindley
9/11/2009 - 10/4/2009
Directed by Robert Hupp


Based on a true story, this touching remembrance tells the intimate details of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger. After meeting at a concert in 1961, the two women struck up a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.

“The simple, touching tale is cleverly interwoven with wonderful Cline hit songs.” The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Always...Patsy Cline features a narrative by Seger while Cline floats in and out beautifully singing the tunes that made her famous...“Walkin' After Midnight,” “She's Got You,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Crazy,” just to name a few.

“A song-filled valentine..." - The Los Angeles Times

Always...Patsy Cline offers fans who remember Cline a unique chance to look back, while giving new fans an insight into what she was like and how much her music meant to those who loved her.
