Two of The Highwaymen unite for a music biz tale both breezy and with bite; Willie Nelson plays—logically enough—a top country singer/songwriter, whose former partner Kris Kristofferson helps him hit back at industry sharks trying to steal his songs. Kristofferson’s original soundtrack for this movie earned him an Oscar nomination; reteamed with Rudolph following Choose Me, Lesley Ann Warren was Golden Globe-nominated playing a singer Nelson discovers.
