Overview

Country singer Maury Dann lives life in the fast lane, counting on his rakish charm and raw talent to excuse his reckless behavior. Touring on the road in the rural south with his dedicated manager, his loyal driver and his long-suffering girlfriend, Maury seduces groupies, brawls and breaks the law, brashly relying on his team to cover for him. Heedlessly alienating all those who care for him, Maury blindly keeps the pedal to the metal.

Viewing Notes

Thanks to a recent review on Gentleman’s Guide to Midnight Cinema podcast, I dug into the meaty early 70s flick Payday (1972) starring Rip Torn as a traveling country-western performer. It’s a day in the life adventure including all the women, booze and seedy motels. Rip Torn is a walking disaster and so much fun to watch spiral out of control.
