The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
A would-be Nashville star finds himself in hot water during a stay in Georgia in this drama based (very loosely) on the hit song of the same title. Travis Child (Dennis Quaid) is a country singer looking for his big break, crisscrossing the country playing honky-tonks with his younger sister (and manager), Amanda (Kristy McNichol), in tow. Travis has a bad habit of drinking too much and putting the moves on the wrong women, leaving tough-as-nails Amanda to bail him out. (allrovi.com)

More toned down than most of the southern redneck comedies of the early 80's; there's still enough kitsch fun to make it worth the watch. Quaid and McNichol are pretty good in their roles and CAN sing, however Mark Hamill's "performance" as Conrad, the deputy who tries the win the heart McNichol has to be seen to be believed. A charming little artefact from the era.
