question about the movie

Jerry Lee was hot-headed and extremely jealous of Elvis' success. I don't know a lot about it, but Lewis was on tour with Elvis and Johnny Cash and Cash talks about it a little in his book, "Cash". I don't know that he was stupid, but childish isn't a stretch and all those boys were partiers, which isn't really dealt with in this film. Some substance abuse may have contributed to his behavior, and he did pride himself on being viewed as 'wild'.

In the end, Lewis wasn't pleased with the way he was portrayed in this movie.
