Actors portray the central figures (Johnny's wife, June Carter Cash portrays Mary Magdaline) but there are very few speaking parts.
The images play over the songs, so it is like watching a series of music videos with narration in between. There are some great gospel songs by Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and Kris Kristofferson. There was an accompanying record album released at the same time the film came out.

If you are a fan of country music and/or Johnny Cash, then I think you will really enjoy this one. I really like Johnny Cash so I enjoyed it.
It is available on DVD.
