An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1970 release of “I Walk the Line”

An American neo noir drama film directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Gregory Peck and Tuesday Weld. The screenplay, written by Alvin Sargent, is an adaptation of Madison Jones' novel “An Exile”.

Henry Tawes, a middle-aged sheriff in a rural Tennessee town, is usually the first man to criticise others for their bad behaviour. Miserable in his marriage, Henry falls in love with teenage seductress Alma, who is the daughter of local criminal and moonshiner Carl McCain. Henry's moral character comes further into question when he is tempted to conceal Carl's crimes in order to prolong his relationship with Alma.

"Your fans are church folk, Johnny. Christians. They don't wanna hear you singing to a bunch of murderers and rapists."
