>>>...What episode is that line from - where Opie is questioning Andy about a movie they had just seen and the actor's accent changed from one movie to the next? I was so proud to quote my favorite show in a little talk with my son! >>>
That scene is from "Up in Barney's Room." The actor in question is Gregory Peck. Now, what movie do you suppose they'd just seen? This episode aired in 1963; the only film Peck made that year was "Captain Newman, M.D." That film would probably not have appealed to Opie, and it's also probable that the Grand doesn't get brand new movies when they first come out, so maybe they were seeing a movie made the year before. This narrows it down to "To Kill a Mockingbird," "How the West Was Won" or "Cape Fear." I haven't seen "To Kill a Mockingbird," but I did read the book, and I don't remember any Northern persons in there (this must be the film Andy and Opie had seen previously, with Peck talking Southern.) "How the West Was Won" is definitely the type of movie Opie would like, but that was such an enormous film with so many great actors (many Mayberry guest stars among them) that nobody would call it a Gregory Peck film. This leaves "Cape Fear," which doesn't seem like the type of film Andy would take Opie to see, but then again, Andy had no objection to "House of Blood" and "The Beast That Ate Minnesota," so my guess is "Cape Fear" is the film they'd just seen. --Paul _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
