Despite not being considered one of Frankenheimer’s best movies, this is worth seeing. A story of a middle aged man, a married law officer no less, who loses his moorings when he develops an ill advised attraction to a redneck lolita. Tuesday Weld, who plays successfully the female lead was actually in her thirties, but looks like she would have been carded in bars for another ten years. Features the famous Johnny Cash song and some other, less successful. Gregory Peck is convincing as the perplexed sheriff and in the end he does get shot. The supporting actors are all very good. Not a whole lot of family values here. The family of the girl do not object to her relationship with the much older man, because they expect he will turn a blind eye to their moonshine operation.
