Histoire

- AnecdotesOn December 30, 1952, Hank Williams hired Charles Carr, a freshman at Auburn, to drive him in his 1952 powder-blue Cadillac from Montgomery, Alabama to shows in Charleston, West Virginia and Canton, Ohio. Snow fell most of the way. The afternoon of December 31, Williams learned that snow had canceled his flight to Charleston. They checked into a Knoxville hotel. The hotel porters had to carry Williams, under the influence of two shots of morphine, to the backseat of the limo when it was decided that they would drive to Canton. The next morning, in Oak Hill, West Virginia, Carr found Williams dead, lying in the same position in which the porters had placed him. Carr remained in Montgomery and worked in investment and real estate until he retired. He died in July 2013, at age 79.
- GaffesAfter agreeing to hire him, Stan tells Silas: "Be at this address Monday at 8:00." When Silas picks up Mr. Wells, "December 30, 1952" is on the screen. December 30, 1952 was actually a Tuesday.
Commentaire à la une
This was quite an entertaining movie that I will definitely watch again when I just want to relax and see a 1950's period thought provoking movie based loosely on the last few days of the great(est) country singer Hank Williams. Most documented accounts of Hank Williams show him as a great musical talent with a rebellious streak and often in an inebriated state.
The Last Ride portrays Hank Williams as a very sickly and anemic but valuable musical commodity that needs to be chauffeured to his next music gig. Assigned the task of getting Hank (whose alias whilst travelling is Mr. Wells) to his next concert venue is a young man named Silas played by Jesse James. Silas however has no clue that he is going to be the chauffeur for the great Hank Williams because he has lived a very sheltered life through his early teens without access to any media including even a transistor radio.
Negotiating by telephone with Hank Williams' road manager named O'Keefe played by the seasoned and competent actor Fred Dalton Thomas, Silas tries his darnedest to keep alias Mr. Wells/Hank Williams on the straight and narrow but Mr. Williams notoriety precedes himself and he continues to drink, dance and fight along their road trip.
Silas also gets temporarily distracted by a cute gas station attendant named Wanda played by TV's Big Bang star Kaley Cuoco. Silas tries not to let his heart interfere with his current custodial and driving duties for Mr Williams, but Hank tells Silas that he can survive in a country bar for a few hours without him and Hank advises Silas to take the car and one of Hanks' crisp $100 bills and go out on a date with the young gas attendant and cutie-patootie Wanda, and live life for a few hours and feel true love.
Gradually the bond between Hank and Silas grows, and the movies theme of a music legends star fading slowly, and a young teen who has not experienced life before meeting Mr Williams getting brighter each day intertwine.
This is by no means a movie epic, but a simple heart warming look in to the last few days of music legend and rebel rouser Hank Williams as he comes to realize as he reflects on his unfulfilled life without any true friends.....except maybe, just maybe, his last chauffeur Silas, assigned to taking his new friend and confidant, Mr Williams for his last ride.
