"I walk the line". 1970. Remember? YOu can't forget Tuesday Weld! I Walk the Line 1970 - USA - Crime Drama/Police Drama Type: Features Rating: PG (Suitable for Children/Adult Language) Running Time: 95 minutes Starring: Lonny Chapman, Ralph Meeker, Estelle Parsons, Gregory Peck, Tuesday Weld Directed by: John Frankenheimer PLOT DESCRIPTION Though one might expect a "message" picture from the actor/director team of Gregory Peck and John Frankenheimer, the only message delivered by I Walk the Line is "steer clear of jail bait." Peck plays a Southern sheriff who intends to bring moonshiner Ralph Meeker to justice. Instead, Peck falls in love with Meeker's nubile daughter Tuesday Weld, and arranges for the feds to keep their hands off Meeker's still. The sheriff is "rewarded" for this dereliction of duty when Meeker kills deputy Charles Durning. Even so, Peck leaves his wife in favor of Weld, who has fled the territory with her father. Having learned nothing from all this, Peck goes after Weld to beg her to stay with him. Even after the bloody climax, one suspects that Peck hasn't gotten the message. Not surprisingly, Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" is heard on the soundtrack at various crucial junctures. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The cable net "E" does a show that mocks media. I think it's called Soup? They put together a phony trailer for the latest Potter with actual clips from the movie that made it look like it was all about a stormy homosexual relationship between Harry and Ron. On snip showed Harry embrasing a girl, then switched to a put out looking Ron accusing Harry of "Fraternizing with the enemy". It was so cleverly done it was hilarious.
