Excellent film about Glasgow Country singer. Lower middle-class, two kids, 25 years old with great country voice and dreams of Nashville. Interactions with frustrated mom, wealthy female employer, and her two hostile/loving children who want to trust her but don't. Great except for a slightly weak ending--can't see any other ending though. She goes to Nashville, sings a song at the Grand Ole Opry when no one is watching, realizes Nashville success requires total dedication . . . and little or no contact with her children. Returns to Glasgow and is the best Glasgow country singer. Not her dream, but good enough.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
