\n$16.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

This popular and critically acclaimed 1983 made-for-TV movie stars Andy Griffith<\/strong> as the wealthy John Wallace and Johnny Cash as Sheriff Lemar Potts of Coweta County.\u00a0 It’s riveting to watch the two entertainment icons as adversaries in this fascinating film, which is based on real events in Georgia.<\/p>\n

June Carter Cash is also featured among the fine cast of character actors.\u00a0 And of special interest in a pivotal role is Cindi Knight<\/strong>, who became Mrs. Andy Griffith about six weeks after this movie was first broadcast.<\/p>\n

For years this film has been extremely difficult to find, except overseas and on old VHS tapes. In time for its 30th Anniversary in 2013, we’re pleased to be able to offer it on DVD!<\/p>\n

This 2008 movie features George Lindsey<\/strong> in his last movie role. Also starring Lee Majors and Academy Award winner Diane Ladd.<\/p>\n

Here’s the story about the movie:<\/p>\n

The journey of a lifetime for young Lily Strickland begins not out of her love for adventure but out of heartache. Longing for the father she lost to the ocean and having no way to say goodbye, Lily strikes out on her own beginning a journey of the spirit and of the heart.<\/p>\n

Her mother has found a new man to share her life with and Lily is the bearer of unpleasant secrets in his life which only she knows. Leaving behind a safe, loving environment with her grandparents (Diane Ladd and Lee Majors) and loving mother (Amy Redford), she faces not only her fears but the obstacles the wilderness presents.<\/p>\n

With her faith and belief that her father will guide her, she sets out with her trusty dog. With the help of a friendly tugboat captain (Bernie Casey), she follows her dream to find the ocean and to finally set her heart at peace.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a true story.<\/p>\n
