The Oscars are this weekend. They're so irrelevant; Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau, and Anthony Franciosa (who gives, in my opinion, the most devastating portrayal in the film) were all snubbed by the so-called Academy for this movie.
A very young and adorable Lee Remick made her big-screen debut in this film.
Oddly prescient for today. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
And I guarantee that you will never look at The Andy Griffith Show the same way ever again.
EVERYONE should be forced to watch this film, especially during an election season, especially if they are fans of Faux New, especially if they listen to a certain blow hard on the radio.
