Your Cheatin' Heart is a 1964 musical directed by Gene Nelson, starring George Hamilton, Susan Oliver and Red Buttons.
The film begins with young Hank Williams trying to earn money by pitching a snake-oil cure-all to the gullible, capping his spiel by picking up his guitar and singing. In the crowd is The Drifting Cowboys, a group of touring country-western musicians who happen to be passing through. They invite Hank Williams to join their group, and music history is made. Memphis-born George Hamilton is winningly natural as Williams in the musical biopic of the short-lived but forever influential “Hillbilly Shakespeare.” It’s a deeply felt story, made with the assistance of his widow Audrey and featuring timeless songs (Long Gone Lonesome Blues, I Can’t Help It and Hey, Good Lookin’ among them) lip-synched by Hamilton but sung by another C&W great: Hank Williams, Jr.
The film was originally released in 1964 in Black and White, and has the distinction of being the final MGM Musical Film to be produced in Black and White.
The film was colorized by Turner Entertainment in 1990. The colorized version made its debut over Super Station WTBS on January 1, 1991, the 38th anniversary of Hank Williams, Sr.'s Death.

I was looking through my hard drive for something else and ran across it. You posted so many of the colorized I thought you might like it. It actually is a very entertaining movie. I saw it at the theater when it came out in 1964, my how time goes by.
