An alcoholic Depression-era country singer with little talent travels to Nashville, his nephew and grandpa in tow. Unfashionable and unappreciated in ‘82, Honkytonk remains Eastwood’s most unconventional film and features his most audacious performance. “One of the most heroically oddball superstar vehicles ever contrived. Only Eastwood could have the audacity to play a comparatively odious and untalented country singer dying of consumption on a picaresque pilgrimage to a Nashville audition…during which the singer nearly coughs himself to death. The whole thing veers wildly in quality, but few lovers of American cinema could fail to be moved by a venture conceived so recklessly against the spirit of its times.”—Time Out.
