I Saw The Light written by Marc Abraham I SAW THE LIGHT BLACK SCREEN. A SONG. “... another love before my time made your heart sad and blue and so my heart is paying now for things I didn’t do ... AS THE DEEP BLACK TURNS SMOKY GREY we are ... Somewhere in southern Alabama. Sometime past midnight. Some time around 1950. And though it’s impossible to clearly make out details, it feels like what it is, a sweaty HONKY TONK. Camera floats like a moth around the beautiful and hypnotic face; past the dark haunted eyes of a 27 year-old man who somehow even in this first moment feels like hes at least 20 years older. HIRAM “HANK” WILLIAMS born in a speck of a town, poorer than is imaginable. Glimpses of his ever present cowboy hat. A small stately Stetson. His fancy western suit, sweat stained collar and missing rhinestones. Not because he can’t afford to fix them, he just doesnt have the time. Hank is burning through the days and nights with a fever that will scorch you. The voice is confident and ancient and yet supple like a child. But mostly it is so damn personal that every person who hears it thinks it belongs to them. And of course, it is sad. Sadder than anyone has ever heard. The song is “Cold Cold Heart.” HANK “In anger unkind words are said, that make the tear drops start How can I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart...” The strains of Hank’s lament play under the opening of the next scene and then as speaking voices come up, it dies out. 73 MILES SOUTH OF MONTGOMERY ANDALUSIA, ALABAMA DECEMBER 15,1944 EXT.
