...fiftyish audience in rhinestones and T shirts responded wildly when Cash gave his trademark greeting, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." After the performance, Cash returned to his swank hotel, where a guest in a tuxedo called out, "Hey, Mr. Cash, welcome to Kansas City!" Then there was Dave Sheridan, a college student who attended a Cash concert in Columbia, Missouri, last week: "I'm hooked. Good music is good music," he said. "This guy's been around 40 years. That's the test." That old oak is still standing, more noble than ever...

A grand and heroic part is carved for actress Emma Thompson, playing Conlon's solicitor, Gareth Peirce, but in reality Peirce was a minor figure...
...Sheridan insists that he was seeking an "emotional honesty" and that the real subject of his film was a son's changing relationship with his father. % But if that was his intended subject, say some close to the case, the director should have used someone else's story. "The truth is that Gerry Conlon had very little time for his father," says Sean Smyth, an uncle. "It's a good film, well acted and everything," concedes Conlon's aunt, Anne Maguire.
