Stand by Your Man is a 1981 American made-for-television biographical film based on the life of Tammy Wynette, the country music superstar, including her tumultuous marriage to fellow star George Jones.
The Washington Post published a largely negative review of the movie, with critic Richard Harrington stating that "Unfortunately, television will be television, and the results are lackluster and somewhat misleading."[1] However, James Wolcott, in a review of 1985's Sweet Dreams (in which Jessica Lange played Patsy Cline), called O'Toole "superb" as Wynette.[2]
