I remember that movie. It was filmed in Halletsville Tx. back in 1981. We lived in Yoakum,then. Our youngest son was in DeTar hospital for 31 days. There was alittle 6 yr old boy across the hall from us that was shot in the chest with a shot gun.chrisy":cf3ztbkj said:bigbull338":cf3ztbkj said:alot of the songs dolly wrote was to porter.ill always love you comes to my mind.
I always thought she wrote that one for Burt Reynolds after a film they made together. Best Little be nice House in Texas. She once said in an interview with Michael Parkinson, that they fell in love but they had just married different people and it could never go anywhere, so she wrote this song, and then sung it. The best version around IMO. I may be wrong though.
Burt came by the hospital to see the little boy. He brought ballons for all the kids there. Never really thought much of the man,until that day.
The little boy died a few days after that .
