I watched "My Darling Vivian" and it was a mind blower, that kept me thinking WHO KNEW?!! I recommend that everyone watch this documentary. After watching this documentry I just could not get Vivian off my mind because she was done so dirty. I had the DVD "Walk the Line" and after watching My Darling Vivian, I knew I could not watch Walk the Line anymore, so I threw it away. I give praise Roseanne Cash and her three sisters for doing this documentry. These women did their mother right! RIP Vivian, you were a good woman.

Just watched this movie and it was incredible, I’m so happy to see her legacy come to life as a strong Italian mother and grandmother with true morals , but as we know Hollywood is so fake and this was blatant in the show , how dare June take credit for those kids , , hope more people get to watch this movie about an incredible strong women … my mother lived a similar life and was in the background, but was the matriarch of our family and staid that way until her death in 2014 , and the love my parents had for all us kids , but she was the strongest of them both .

After hearing some about this I hope Johnny Cash stood up for Vivian when her family had problems because of her darker skin. Secondly I don’t Boces gentleman related in someway other than the filmmakers Edit… Oops I guess I should’ve watched first lol thank you so much sir for getting that part of the information out no one else has made that clear

It was a different time in the 1950’s where a wonan was to marry young, obey her husband & completey forsake her needs for the good of her family. At 19 though, how do you have discernment as to whether the young man you are considering to marry fits in to the vision you have for your life? Vivian sounds like a wonderful blessing to her daughters, but it seems somewhat a cautionary tale. Wait til you’re grown up & make some sort of path to experience the world like a learning a marketabke skill so that you practice making choices for yourself. Vivian deserved so much better. She deserved respect. She deserved to have a say in decisions that effected her. I’m so glad you made this documentary to set the record straight.

When I saw the documentary the title, I thought I was getting ready to look at a black woman I was so surprised it was Johnny Cash‘s first wife. I don’t see how that they didn’t see their mother was black or Johnny Cash and see his wife was black the lips the hair is no way she don’t even look Italian or German she look black. I was so glad to hear that they went and got their roots done but I still don’t believe it’s just a black grandmother. I think her dad is black and her mother just didn’t tell her this they say that a mother was an alcoholic and be drunk in the daytime and she could have gone with a black man because Vivian is clearly black. It was a beautiful documentary to the mother I’m glad everything is out in the open now, I love love love the documentary and I’m I’m glad that Sean has some respect because John was a husband stealer and that was wrong high. He didn’t leave his girls some varieties like he left his son wrong wrong wrong.

The best thing I can say, I took away from this was an error of women like my grandparents, or my great grandparents that had dignity a time when people didn’t play themselves as victims she was no victim she persevered I would say she would say herself maybe it is what it is but she has such class and dignity about the whole thing I’ll be it. I don’t know that into workings of their marriage and why it didn’t work and I don’t have any judgment against Johnny Cash at all I justknow that I would hope to be the type of person with dignity in class as Vivian was
