Member Rating:  
In this collaboration between actor Gregory Peck and director John Frankenheimer, Peck plays Southern sheriff Henry Tawes, who intends to bring moonshiner Carl McCain (Ralph Meeker) to justice. Instead, Tawes falls in love with McCain's nubile daughter, Alma (Tuesday Weld), and arranges for the feds to keep their hands off McCain's still. The sheriff thus risks completely destroying his work life and home life. Not surprisingly, Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" is heard on the soundtrack at various crucial junctures. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Kirk B.

The final scene of Peck on his knees in the dirt (while the title track plays) make this a worthwhile film. Sure, it is a bit dated but Frankenheimer brings it all together and lets you feel the pain.

Highly recommend this movie. Tuesday Weld appears helpless and innocent to Gregory Peck And, Oh My God, could she be more beautiful, sweet, and ripe? Peck instantly falls for her. He has no clue who she really is, a young woman from the hills with a husband in jail. Peck is sucked in by her charms, and does ANYTHING to be with her. In his lust filled mind, this is love and this is forever. (Been there, done that, so I especially enjoyed Peck's temporary dimentia!)

I found this out the hard way. Doesn't matter, it's still a good movie. A southern Sheriff decides to have a midlife crisis with Tuesday Weld and throw his whole life away. And he does.
