VHS Movie Reviews of Murder in Coweta County
Movie Review: If you like Johnny Cash, you'll love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always liked Johnny Cash but never realized how good an actor he could be. He was outstanding in this movie. Movie Review: Very good movie. Solid performances.
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually grew up and live in Coweta County, Georgia, so I am familiar with this famous local story. I saw this movie on TV when I was young, and when I saw it available on DVD, I had to have it. I was afraid that it wouldn't be as good as I remembered, but I was wrong. Very good writing, directing, acting, and music. It's a made-for-TV movie, so don't expect a big-budget blockbuster, but for what it is, it is a very well-done movie. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Great Made For TV Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie on TV when it first came out and really popped for the casting of Johnny Cash and especially Andy Griffith as a 'real' evil character. After years of seeing him as the wholesome good guy Andy Taylor it was great to see Andy's acting range and he hit it out of the park. I understand that this movie was based on a true story and a book with the same title. I never read the book and had no knowledge of the story before I saw the movie. I pulled the movie out the other day and watched it and I must say that it totally holds up. The casting is perfect and the director really takes you back to the period with all the cars, the wardrobe and the look of the film.
I recommend this movie to anybody who likes good movies and good story telling.
Movie Review: There are 3 more great Andy Griffith mysteries!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm resorting to this forum to briefly review three super Andy Griffith TV movies, especially for Andy Griffith fans. These movies are NOT yet available on either VHS or DVD as far as I can discover.... but you might catch them on TV if you're lucky. They are: "The Girl in the Empty Grave" (1977); "Deadly Game" (a.k.a., "It's Deadly," 1977), and; "Winter Kill" (1974).
All three of these films are "cosy murders" where Andy Griffith plays a small-town California police chief/sheriff -- they all sort of manifest the general flavor of his TV series but are just a little more serious. In the first two films, he plays police chief Abel Marsh and in the latter he plays Sheriff Sam McNeill.
The supporting cast includes timeless characters, (some are just a little goofy), reminiscent of the TV series. The locations are spectacular in a little resort town in the mountains of Northern California. The sets are also very good.
In "The Girl in the Empty Grave," police chief Abel Marsh tries to track down a girl who was supposedly killed in a car wreck but who has been seen driving through his tiny resort town once her parents have been murdered.
In "Deadly Game," the U.S. Military creates a chemical spill when one of their trucks overturns... murder ensues and police chief Abel Marsh ATTEMPTS to investigate but runs into problems. It's a nice folksy mystery for a rainy Saturday afternoon.
In "Winter Kill" Sheriff Sam McNeill works to solve the mystery of a sniper in his little ski resort town. A young Nick Nolte appears in the supporting cast!
If you enjoyed The Andy Griffith Show, or "Murder in Coweta County," don't miss these three fun films. Hopefully, the copyright owners will reduce them to DVD very soon but there's a chance that if you scan the TV Guide, you can catch them on television.
Please comment if this information was helpful to you -- I'd like to enter more posts like this one on films not yet available if it helps out viewers and fans.
Movie Review: Murder in Coweta County
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful movie, better than I imagined. Very different character for Andy Griffith, but very well played. Johnny Cash did an excellent job portraying the "Good" sheriff. He didn't miss a beat & also had a sense of humor. June Carter Cash played a very colorful character, didn't even recognize her at the beginning, but she did a remarkable job playing that role. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a true Johnny Cash fan. I loved it...it's a terrific movie for the family.
