Honkytonk Man

Clint Eastwood stars as Red Stovall, a country musician with tuberculosis, in this 1982 musical Western comedy-drama film. Accompanied by his young nephew Whit, played by Kyle Eastwood, Red sets out to try out for the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, before his health takes a turn for the worse. The film, loosely based on the life of Jimmie Rodgers, takes Red on a series of adventures, including a brothel scene, before his final days. Red's story is ultimately told through the eyes of his nephew, who vows to share his uncle's tale.
