On memorial Day, we watched The Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Heroes (both classics)
for the hundredth time, at least. This time I noticed that one of Carroll
O'Connor's staff (O'Connor played a General in Kelly's Heroes) was the same
character who was in the TAGS episode #42 (The Club Men), where Andy & Barn try
to join a private club up in Raleigh. This actor is the guy who later comes to
Mayberry to tell Andy that he's been accepted into the club, but not Barney.
What's the history on this guy? I've seen him in numerous other films/tv
shows. Don Rickles, another TAGS guest star, played a classic role in Kelly's
Heroes. But I could never figure out the Donald Sutherland character in the
movie. He played a hippie-like guy (like his real life), but the story took
place during WWII. Were there hippies around then? Is that when the whole
Socialist movement that permeates Hollywood began, or was it during the '50s?
