'George & Tammy' stands by its stars in an oft-told musical tale with a country twang
The soap-opera relationships of musical royalty have inspired plenty of movies, including a 1981 made-for-TV version of Tammy Wynette's biography, appropriately titled "Stand By Your Man." With a six-part format, "George & Tammy" brings a more expansive twang to the fractious lives of country legends Wynette and George Jones, in a solid if unspectacular showcase for crooning stars Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon.
