Primarily the story of the love that grew between country stars Johnny Cash and June Carter during the early years of Cash's career, WALK THE LINE is the result of intense collaboration between director James Mangold, co-writer Gill Dennis, Johnny Cash, and June Carter Cash.

We never find out whether Cash rumi...
Walk the Line is a strongly acted, musically vibrant, conventionally satisfying biopic of country/rock/blues legend Johnny Cash and his second wife, June Carter. Absorbing and entertaining, James Mangold's heartfelt feature follows the predictable format for musical bios, encompassing popular singers' performance highs and drug-addled lows, and could have benefited from a rougher edge in line with the main subject's outlaw image.
