Title: A mediocre TV movie about an aviation legend
Product review: "Pancho Barnes" stars cute, sweet-as-pie Valerie Bertinelli, and that pretty much sums it up. The "real" Pancho Barnes was a hell-raising, homely, tough-as-nails pilot. So while Bertinelli is fun to watch the character she plays is very different from her namesake. As a result this TV movie may have some appeal to viewers as a piece of entertainment, but in the end it is very disappointing. It diverges wildly from Barnes' true-life story after the first 20 minutes or so, and becomes a schmaltzy fair tale. If you're interested in the real story of this lady, check outThe Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club (DVD)or watch the movie "The Right Stuff".
