Great Movie from my Chidlhood

This is one of my favorite movies from growing up. I always thought that this movie had a lot of the real Dolly in it, since she plays a famous country singer who wants to get out of the limelight and get back to her country roots to have some peace to herself. I loved her interaction with the kids and I used to watch this with my mom. There is also so great music in it and a lot of humor. This movie also has so really beautiful scenery and I believe it was shot on location. There is a bit of weirdness with the villain and her relationship with Dolly in the movie, but otherwise it is great. The chemistry between the male lead and Dolly is good also. This needs to be on DVD!
