Walk the Line

The 2005 film of Cash's life, Walk the Line, is largely framed by the Folsom Prison concert and includes the song "Cocaine Blues". The film includes some remarks by Cash (played by Joaquin Phoenix) that either vary from or do not appear on the album. However, Cash did comment on the prison's water quality, by sipping some and then gagging on it, rather than taking a direct verbal shot at the warden as shown in the film. One line is taken directly from the concert. During the song "Dark as the Dungeon", a prisoner had yelled something inaudible that briefly disrupted the song. Afterward, Cash humorously chided the audience: "This show is being recorded for an album release on Columbia Records and you can't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that." Walk the Line is an Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning film chronicling the life of Johnny Cash, American country singer. ...
