Finished watching A Face in the Crowd last night.
Strange movie indeed. I thought ( I will refer to him as Andy ) Andy's
character lacked so much talent in comparison to the fame he received. It was
way off balance. It reminded me of the movie " The Patsy " with Jerry Lewis ;
how the staff of a deceased famous talented man tried to make a somebody out of
a nobody just to keep the " family alive and working ". Not saying that Andy
was a nobody, he did have some singing talent ( not much ) and liked to ramble
on but I thought when the senator was asking for some help from ( Lonesome
Roads /Rhodes ) in appealing with the United States voting population was just
a bit too much ! A jailbird and loner who was taken out of his element probably
would have been better off living the lifestyle that he had before being
discovered. I would go on about it, but no need. The movies message may have
been ( you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear ). Again it was a strange
movie but worth watching even if you didn't know who Andy Griffith was.
