Really enjoyed this movie, beeing a Johnny cash fan helps! Very good actor for the small experience he had when this movie came out. The story is very good and is a fact of life of many people today!

a 3.5. a pretty nice tv movie about a man who has kept a secret that he was illiterate, he struggled in life to get by a raise a family. Johnny Cash did fine job considering he little acting experience at the time. His character decides to learn to read when he sees his teenage son is heading down the same road. so admits he cannot read and decides to learn how with his son.
