| I was there (by rick-1303) |
| This movie was filmed in a small un-incorprated town in Overton County Tennessee called Davidson not to be confused with Davidson County. It is close to Wilder Tennessee, I went to school in Both Davidson and Wilder.When they came to film the movie the town is so small that we were in their way trying to see Gregory and Tuesday. The directors paid us 5 dollars each to run around an old house and told us we were going to be in the movie, just to get rid of us because we kept trying to get in front of the camera.Well 5 dollars was a lot so we ran for a while. When the movie came out we were <more> |
| One of my most favorites.... (by dworrick) |
| I own this movie and have watched it many, many times.In my opinion, it is one of the best, and perhaps least touted, of Peck's works.I cannot help but think that the scenario portrayed in this film has played out many times in real life.Peck delivers a 5 star performance of a man of strong moral fiber, driven by the desire to abandon all he has that is right, in pursuit of what he wants, and deep down inside, probably knows he can't have.Highly recommended and truly a treasure in my library. If you can find it...you won't be sorry.Not sure why this one barely gets the recognition <more> |
| Underrated And Neglected Little Masterpiece (by Noirdame79) |
| Not to be confused with the 2005 Johnny Cash biopic "Walk The Line", this 1970 film directed by John Frankenheimer tells the story of a middle-aged, small-town sheriff, Henry Tawes Gregory Peck , who finds himself becoming increasingly disillusioned with his life as a husband and father, and coming to resent his humdrum existence. It could also be argued that he is entering a mid-life crisis, and one day, he stops the daughter of a local moonshiner played by Ralph Meeker , pretty Alma McCain Tuesday Weld and her younger brother for driving without a permit. Captivated by her <more> |
| Gregory Peck as a small town sheriff (by apostonk) |
| Gregory Peck spent time preparing for this role by doing a character study with my grandfather. My grandfather was a small town sheriff in Gainesboro, Tennessee in the 1960s and 1970s. Peck walks and dresses just like my grandfather did in his role. My step-father helped work on the truck used in the opening scene of the movie. I finally located the DVD version of the movie last year and my family loves watching it to point out all of the locations we grew up with. It was shot on location in Jackson and Putnam counties in middle Tennessee. Gregory Peck is my all-time favorite actor. <more> |
| Rural '70 quiet T. Weld! (by shepardjessica) |
| A totally under-appreciated and unseen film except for some Gregory Peck fans with Estelle Parsons and Ralph Meeker and the glorious totally bashed actress in movies since age 12 and this is AFTER Pretty Poison, a witty and insightful script directed by apparently a one-shot guy, Noel Black that nobody got to see!1970 was a great year for films and this didn't make my top TEN, but it's very interesting...with a moral that actually plays out in a semi-realistic and human AMERICAN way, but unfortunately, it was considered drive-in fare by whatever studio released it. Try to find <more> |
| A timeless not so well known classic (by pbsnyderyho) |
| I recently viewed this film for the second time, having seen it perhaps twenty years ago. I found out why I remembered it fondly. A fairly true-to-life depiction of a back-hills country town and it's people. The characters are strong and played superbly by the great cast. The cinematography is wonderfully nostalgic. It makes you feel as if you are there, living the story. I remembered numerous details from this movie which made me realize how closely I paid attention the first time around. I've seen dozens of movies in the last year and can't remember half as much about them. <more> |
| very good film (by robert-miller-3) |
| This is a very good film. Tuesday Weld and Gregory Peck give great performances. Never has Peck's 'stiff' style of acting been better suited for a role. He is wound so tight in this part it seems like he will explode any minute. His eyes and silent desperate yearning when he is looking at the truly beautiful Weld tell's the desperate needs of the man he portrays. Any man above forty will feel his pain and desire...and many his ultimate heartbreak. The original sound track by Johnny Cash is pitch perfect. The last scene of the film is truly remarkable and heartbreaking although <more> |
