John Frankenheimer’s I Walk the Line uses the music of Johnny Cash as backdrop for a searing tale of a small town sheriff (Gregory Peck) who walks the line between duty and desire, between law and violence, between honor and shame when he falls in love with the daughter of the local moonshiner (Ralph Meeker).
“Ralph Meeker, as the ruthless moonshiner [in I Walk the Line], is all sinister smiles and barely repressed violence” – Time Magazine
