I've seen this movie at least 5 times. It ran twice on CBS. WGN bleeped out the n word. I also have the VHS. I even read the book. Wallace Turner was actually his brother William. He took Wallace's 4-F card after going AWOL from the Army. Wallace was a half-wit. The real John Wallace looked nothing like Andy Griffith.
Great movie! Johnny Cash is wonderful, as is June Carter Cash. It's hard to picture Andy Griffith as a bad guy, but you quickly learn to hate him in this movie!!!!!
Ironically enough, character actors Dan Biggers, Stuart Culpepper, Wallace Merck, and Wilbur Fitzgerald would all appear as recurring characters in the early 90's on In The Heat of The Night. I know that at least three of them appeared in an episode together.
I live in the area where this movie took place. One of my friends is actually John Wallace's great-niece, and my old science teacher went to school with Sheriff Potts' daughter.
@BlueDevilPride11991 yep sure is not allot changes in meriwether its a nice peaceful county, ive been down that road, its beautiful countryside. its not to far away from me i live just over the line in troup county
@SkyAngel1959 Andy Griffith's first film role (and his best dramatic performance) was as the total jerk "Lonesome" Rhodes in A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957).
I always imagined this is how Andy was behind the scenes.

Griffith was always fantastic playing pricks. I wish some of his mid 70's work was released, he played the baddie better than anyone.
