Great Balls of Fire! premiered

June 30, 1989
The quasi-biographical drama film about Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire! directed by Jim McBride and starring Dennis Quaid, Winona Ryder, John Doe, Alec Baldwin, and Mojo Nixon opened in the US on this date.

Jerry Lee Lewis hates the film and the book from which the film was based, but praises Quaid’s performance.
