A Face in the Crowd DVD

A Face in the Crowd DVD

This critically acclaimed 1957 movie (also starring Walter Matthau and Patricia and directed by Elia Kazan) was Andy Griffith's first film. Many people feel it's Andy's best acting work outside of TAGS, though his Lonesome Rhodes character is a far cry from Andy Taylor.
