Murder In Coweta County (1983)

Warning: Spoilers
Ridiculously unheard of film from 1983 combines two great talents of that century together almost flawlessly. Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith play off of one another perfectly, they both fit their roles so well that it seems like it almost comes to them naturally, which is most impressive from Griffith who plays an evil character so well you'd think he was the most evil man in the world. Surely this can't be our lovable protagonist from the self-titled 'The Andy Griffith Show'. Somehow he makes it work. Sure, some of our other minor characters are dumbed-down just a bit, and their dialog doesn't roll off the tongue as sweet as it should, but this film is highly enjoyable, it isn't excruciatingly violent or have hordes of swearing, so it almost retains that wholesome made for television feel to it, but I don't know if it was or not.

I was lucky enough to stumble across this film, I don't have any idea why it is so unknown, with the star-power that it has behind it. Watch out for June Carter in a smaller role. If you have the opportunity to see this film, I suggest you do so.

MURDER IN COWETA COUNTY -----9/10.
