    Andy was absolutely MAGNIFICENT as Lonesome Rhodes in 'A Face In the Crowd'.
    I had never seen or heard of it until about a year ago. I was in on a Carnival Cruise ship, and it played over the ship's television while I was in my cabin one night. I was about to turn the TV off and go to sleep but I watched the first couple of minutes and was hooked!
    Andy Griffith definitely deserved a an Oscar-nomination for his performance!
    Andy Showed incredible range taking on that role; of course it was several years before The Andy Griffith Show.

I truly believe The Andy Griffith Show was one of the BEST shows ever made and has stood the test of time. Don & Andy were such a great pair....certainly nowadays we miss the quality of writing they had

    The Morning Exchange! Hadn't thought of it since last viewing Channel 5 in Cleveland from my old growing-up homestead in NW PA later in the 70s. As for Andy, what can you say? The man is so rock-solid in his integrity, honesty AND open-mindedness. A Face In The Crowd I first got interested in after seeing Dwight Yoakam on Whoopi Goldberg's old syndicated talk show in the late 80s reference it (Dwight had written a song about Lonesome Rhodes). Nice how Andy gives due credit to the writing part of the creative process for that film without even needing to mention Budd Schulberg's name!

    The role Andy Griffith played in FACE IN THE CROWD sounds a lot like our 45th president. Look at the way he manipulated people in the movie but talked about them like a dog not aware he was on an open mic. The sooner people who are willing to die or do violence for Trump need to watch that movie. Especially at the end when all he had left was a machine that was the sound of cheers and applauds.

      No. Wrong. Biden is the manipulator. Everything which does not aggrandize his ego, particularly his cruelty as Americans pay enormously unnecessary prices due to trillions in extra spending, Biden calls “a threat to democracy.” Straight out of Obama’s Axilrod playbook, everything that happens is a “crisis” which can’t be allowed to go to waste. A two hour riot in which the only homicide was committed against an unarmed woman on Jan. 6, 2021 he calls the greatest threat since the Civil War. Any opposition to the chaos at the Southern border he calls “anti-immigration” bigotry. Any pushback against voting 24 hours a day, seven days a week six months before every election with drop boxes at every corner, ballot harvesting, unsigned ballots mailed to and from every address, same day automatic registration of every convict, etc., etc. is called Republican “voter suppression.” He even tried to establish a ministry of “disinformation.” Orwellian. After all, his friends in the mainstream media never raised an eyebrow when Biden cited as the gospel truth the discredited claim by 51 former national security officials that the Hunter Biden laptop “bore all the marks of Russian disinformation.”

      He turned 18 in March '72 and was working with a little-known director named George Lucas on a film that was expected to fail, along with Harrison Ford, Cindy Williams, Paul LeMat, Richard Dreyfus, Charles Martin Smith, Mackenzie Phillips, Candy Clark, Bo Hopkins, Suzanne Sommers, Kathleen Quinlan...probably the best cast ever assembled on a small budget. Andy probably thought Ron's career was on the fast track to nowhere, because the evidence was all pointing that way. But it turned out that the evidence had it wrong that time.

      I think a little bit of that is a southern vocal tic too.. A speech pattern that allows for a moment or two of thought before speaking..
      After years in broadcast radio, I had to learn to edit this sort of thing out when I spoke on air, but it's very effective when you're speaking one-on-one with someone..
      If you look back at some of the AGS episodes, you'll see he used this over and over again as part of his character.. even though, it probably came very naturally to him..

      I really enjoyed watching the Andy Griffith shows all of the time & also listening to Andy Griffith shows on my smartphone. It was all nice, but i am sad to hear that Andy already passed away. It was funny when Andy wen't over to goober,s filling station and goober thought he had a talking dog but the thing the boys did was put a walkie talkie around the dogs neck & they did all the talking & opie's dad caught them then.

    Because they think they're too good for waste southerners but we prove I'm wrong all the time.We are southerners we say Yall, we say aint. We love the land we like fried chicken. And they probably think that they're too good for that saying that small town USA is dying rubbish rubbish.
    For Pete's sake. There's nothing wrong with good old Southern fun on TV.

    Jesus saves! Jesus died on the cross for our sins! God loves you. We are sinners in need of a savior.

    11:16 I wonder if the character was based on Elvis Presley, and his quick rise to popularity at the time, via TV and radio?
