Andy Griffith (in a role that’s the antithesis of Andy of Mayberry) is Arkansas hobo Larry ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes who rises to media superstardom and demagoguery. With homespun charm galore but a core of pure cynicism, Rhodes becomes a political kingmaker. And you thought that Rush Limbaugh was an original. Budd Schulberg’s brilliant script was directed by Elia Kazan. With Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau.
