The film is set in the Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains in 1955. It is neither a biopic nor a musical about Dolly's whole life and performing career, but rather a family-oriented faith-based story about the incidents in her and her family's life around the time she was nine years old.
See "Coat of Many Colors" tonight on NBC
December 10, 2015 - at 9pm/8c.
I saw her on "Home and Family" speaking about this movie and did I detect a possible series scenario depending upon the popularity of this film? Hope so...
ReplyDeleteYes you did, Linda! (Btw, I saw her on there, too! Love Home & Family!) There are talks to make a second movie titled, "Jolene", also after one of Dolly's hit songs. Hope you enjoy the movie tonight!
DeleteThe cast in this looks great! Good to see Ricky Schroder again. Been too long. He needs to do a Hallmark movie!
ReplyDeleteActually, Ricky Schroder and his family created a Hallmark Movie Channel film a few years back titled "Our Wild Hearts". I didn't have that channel at that time so I have yet to see it, but I remember it received great ratings for HMC - that was newly growing then.
DeleteI think it would be great to see him in more Hallmark productions, as well!
Oh, my gosh, Net! What a beautiful, beautiful movie this was and I'm so glad I didn't miss it. From the beginning to the end it was so heartwarming, funny and sad and I enjoyed every second of it. This is what we need and I hope Dolly continues to share the saga of her loving faith filled life with all of us.
ReplyDeleteI think I read they were planning on turning Jolene and Hard Candy Christmas into movies as well!
DeleteLove the Christmasy movies!

I didn't expect to love this movie as much as I did! Highly recommend for other believers.
ReplyDeleteI was exactly the same. Didn't think I'd like it nearly as much as I did. The young girl who played Dolly Definetly stole the show. It was great.
DeleteI missed it. Will it be on TV again?
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie! I was surprised to see such a great story about God on local TV. Good going Dolly! Ricky Schroder, Jennifer Nettles, Gerald McRaney, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and all the kids in it were so good. I laughed and cried throughout. I would watch again.
ReplyDeleteIf not for your reminder I would have missed this fantastic movie last night, although I did want to let everyone know there isn't anything about Christmas in it.
ReplyDeleteI wish it repeated so others could see it. And I am crazy. I kept thinking thru the whole movie-who is that mom??? I know Jennifer Nettles but with the dark hair it threw me.
ReplyDeleteI kept thinking thru the whole movie- who is that mom? I knew I knew her but the dark hair threw me. It was great. Wish it repeated-for others.
ReplyDeleteRick Schroeder movies have always done very well (he's done several). That's why I'm always surprised there aren't more Westerns done on Hallmark or more movies starring him. I did notice that Luke Perry seems to be on there often in Western type roles.
ReplyDeleteI missed this movie. I hope they make it available on DVD. I saw the real coat that was made for her and it's so cute. More normal looking than the tv movie one.

It had almost 13 million viewers! That is so awesome to read!

The final tally actually put it at 15+ million, which is excellent for a movie of this type. NBC is re-running it Christmas Eve, and plans two additional movie about Dolly's life.

Thank you so much for sharing this news - however I wanted to make sure you knew... deadline.com mentions in the title it will air Christmas night December 25, but in the article they say Christmas Eve, which was a definite red flag for me because that is when It's a Wonderful Life is typically scheduled every year on NBC.... so I checked various NBC affiliates and dollyparton.com and according to those sources the movie "Coat of Many Colors" will air on the night of Christmas December 25th, 2015 at 9pm/8c.
DeleteMy family was certainly captivated by it! I thought the movie "Coat of Many Colors" was truly a powerful amazing story and I am so glad you shared it will be on TV again for anyone who missed it! I pray the movie touches many more lives!!!
Thank you, again, for sharing! Merry Christmas!!!
