**_Crime drama set in Georgia of the late

**_Crime drama set in Georgia of the late 40s with Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash_** In 1948, a wealthy landowner in Meriwether County (Griffith) controls the Sheriff and the citizens, but when he flaunts his power in neighboring Coweta County, the no-nonsense Sheriff comes after him (Cash). “Murder in Coweta County” (1983) is a well-done period piece based on the true story, also called “Last Blood.” It’s similar to “Mississippi Burning,” which came out five years later (and no doubt influenced it), just with the television budget of “Murder in Mississippi” (1990), which is the unofficial prequel to that more famous theatrical film. Johnny’s wife, June Carter Cash, has an interesting role as a backwoods Christian seer. John Wallace (Griffith) visiting her in desperation is reminiscent of King Saul going to the witch of Endor in the Bible (1 Samuel 28). Griffith is effective in the rare role of the antagonist, which he proved he could do 9 years earlier in another worthwhile TV production, “Pray for the Wildcats.” The movie runs 1 hour, 40 minutes, and was shot in the heart of Georgia in areas south of Atlanta; specifically, Monticello (street scenes, exterior scenes and the historic downtown square), Zebulon (courthouse exterior) and Greenville. GRADE: B

A story Rich in Georgia History

Being from Coweta County myself, the setting of this story portrayed this quaint southern county in a very convincing way. Johnny Cash embodies the character of a Coweta County sheriff with wonderful aptitude, and holds together the story in a brilliant manner. And with Andy Griffith in the mix, nothing can go wrong. As a required assignment for high school freshman in Coweta County, I enjoyed this movie very much the first time I watched it five years ago, and it is still a very nice watch today.

So, if you're looking for a good cinematic portrayal of southern life, this is a good pick for you.
