| User ReviewGeoff CWhere else can you see Andy Griffith electrocuted! |
| User ReviewMorten LOne of my favorite movies. Johnny Cash displays the actor side of himself, and does a great job! |
| User ReviewJim QGreat movie! Too bad it's based on a true story, but the acting is very good and I especially liked June Carter Cash. She adds a little humor to an otherwise very serious movie. |
| User ReviewRose HHey, I like Johnny Cash... and this was a role tailor made for his acting range. Andy Griffith puts in a great performance as the bad guy. |
| User ReviewKevin MA good ol' fashioned classic movie. Andy Griffith does great as the bad guy, and Johnny Cash is really surprising in the good guy role. A must see for any movie buff. |
| User ReviewRobert HAndy Griffith stands out as an evil man who has an entire county under his influence in this otherwise stiff true crime procedural. |
| User ReviewRyan GReally cool to see Mr. Cash acting, Andy Griffith does fine work as well. It is a T.V movie though. |
