Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Blaze
You will love this movie. It is sweet, about Louisiana politics and the "good ole boy system" of years gone by. It is a love story that will keep you laughing, about the famous Long brothers and although, it is an old movie, Paul Newman really does the part justice on this story, which is based on facts, You will love the part where he says, 'I have to keep my boots on for I get better traction that way". It is a sweet movie and I think you will love this for it gives the viewer an eye of what Louisiana ... Read More
Rating:  - Way different than the real story
This film is a fictitious story based on real people. Thus, there is little or no historical accuracy involved. One suspects that Ms. Starr made of her relationship with the Governor rather more than actually existed. As one who lived through the rollicking days of Earl Long, I can attest that he was an incredibly colorful character, but focusing on the Blaze Starr aspect of it is rather like writing a book about Beethoven without mentioning music. Maybe it is, as advertised, Blaze's story (as she remembers ... Read More

Rating: - "Blaze" is Outstanding!
A wonderful performance by Paul Newman (as always!). The movie actually sweeps a person along so that one feels as if they are living in the era. A Must See!
Rating: - Politics, Scandalous, & Sexy!
Politics, scandalous affair, and sexy-what more could you want??! Seriously, I enjoyed this film alot. I did not judge this as a documentary or biography. It is noted in the credits that this is "based on Miss Starrs memoirs". This is a story of a poor West Virginia gal who becomes the glamorous burlesque stripper Blaze Starr and her relationship with Governor Earl Long. Lolita Davidovich does a great job as Blaze and she is very sexy! Paul Newman is awesome as Governor Earl Long. Blaze may be naive to the ways ... Read More
