I though he did an excellent job with Andy of Mayberry, but in this role in "A Face In The Crowd"he really shines as a charismatic, borderline malovelent grifter.
One of my favorite movies! Great turns not just by Griffith but from Walter Matthau and Patricia Neal as well, and I think the movie introduced Lee Remick as well.
I assume you watched (rewatched?) because of Neal’s recent passing?
