| ANDY GRIFFITH "A Face in the Crowd" |
If all of you only remember Andy Griffith as the relaxed, town sheriff, best friend to Don Knotts & Dad to Opie, then you are missing out on something great and rare: his film performance in the movie ""A Face in the Crowd".
Also starring Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau. I've just added it to "Complete Films Play List" (FREE from MY YouTube Channel) and thought it deserved a bit of a promotion just for itself. (As I did when I reviewed the movie, "The Trap" Film which is also part of my same list over at YouTube).

I agree that it's a "MUST SEE" Movie. It's Free and available right now. So, uh, ... why are you still reading this?

P.S. Whatever you do, make sure you are NOT disturbed for the last 30 minutes of this film! (You'll thank me later for this advice) L-L
