Critic Reviews for Blaze
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (2)
Maybe Blaze is too pure, and the governor too outrageous to be true. But Shelton works their story into a romantic tall tale as beguiling as the spin of the lady's tassels.
Supposedly based on fact regarding the relationship of Louisiana's Gov. Earl Long and his stripper girlfriend, this is noted mostly for the offbeat casting of Paul Newman.
The latter-day Paul Newman is at his rascally best here.
Audience Reviews for Blaze
Paul Newman is good value as the Governor of Louisiana, Lolita Davidovich is a little weaker in her title role.
