    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Considered by many to be Peck's worst film. According to the actor, "What audiences saw was not the picture we set out to do. John Frankenheimer, the director, left immediately after it was finished to do a picture with Omar Sharif in Europe. The studio people eliminated the prologue and epilogue which gave some sense to the story. They had Johnny Cash write songs, which simply reiterated the action on screen. Everytime I see Frankenheimer he says, 'I owe you one.'

      Sheriff Tawes: People here just try to survive, that's all. Some make a little moonshine, don't really harm nobody.

    Foolish fellow falls for foxy filly
    Peck does a nice job playing a middle age crazy sheriff who meets and goes over the edge for a rawboned hillbilly girl. He has a decent, loving wife at home but his discontent with his life leads to his making one stupid mistake after another in not only his private life but his professional as well. Well played out film with top notch performances by the entire cast and a sound track by Johnny Cash which intertwines nicely with the picture.
