Description
Based on the true story of Louisiana Governor Earl Long's scandalous love affair with stripper Blaze Starr, BLAZE retells the tale of the fiery, eccentric governor who falls for a New Orleans stripper. Their relationship forces him to choose between the office he's got and the woman he wants. He chooses both! Paul Newman shines as the flamboyant, middle-aged Long in this Oscar-nominated (Best Cinematography--Haskell Wexler) and oftentimes humorous docudrama.
