Review of Sweet Dreams (2003) by Aaron D — 10 Jan 2008

This was filmed partly in my hometown and the surrounding areas (Martinsburg, WV; the name which appears in the last part of the closing credits). I remember watching some of the scenes being filmed. My mother, aunt and cousin are clearly visible extras.

My father had the responsibility of driving for the set decorators and Ann Wedgeworth ("Virginia"; mother of Patsy). Interestingly, the Martinsburg sequences (set in the town of Winchester, VA; approximately 35 minutes to the south) were filmed there due to the lack of extant architecture in Winchester.

It seems Martinsburg was more suited to the needs of the production because it hadn't been renovated...and was well, somewhat in disrepair comparitively. I was raised on Patsy Cline, and continue to love her today.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that I hold this film very close.
