Andy Griffith (A Face In the Crowd 1957) - Free Man In The Morning

[@matthewsandifer2673]

Damn, so powerful!

[@DerHammerSpricht]

One of the most powerful movies of ALL TIME. This one and METROPOLIS should be required viewing to graduate high school. But that would create a nation of thinkers...

[@brentplott54]

For those familiar with Andy Griffith only as the sheriff of Mayberry or from "Matlock" this clip shows what an electrifying screen presence he could be--very good stuff...

[@philipstlmo]

Couldn't be more different than Mayberry here ....the first time you watch this is such a treat.

[@robertbrawley5048]

And how . This is an excellent performance so unlike my previous lack of enthusiasm for Andy's film & tv career

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

Brent Plott - I have known about this movie since the 1960s, KHJ-TV Channel 9 had shown it many times then; and we also have it on DVD.

[@mrjohnstgeorge]

He didn't need special effects. He was the effect.

[@prayingmantis6777]

Well now... That was some mighty fine acting.

[@willieboy3011]

Excellent performance in the movie. And a great study on what power does to a man. I don't watch many older movies, but this one is fun and powerful.

[@M-1996A1]

Perfection

[@lilasmurray2425]

Biography I watched today said after this performance Andy said would never portray such a character again.

[@scratchers7916]

He actually had a beautiful singing voice in this.

[@throatgorge2]

sounds like, looks like Tom Waits!

[@robertbrawley5048]

I never consider he was much of a singer till I saw this clip

[@alexgallardo9149]

Free man in the morning 🌄

[@Mr.Robert1]

Bumped into this movie by accident. What a shocker. Where is Aunt Bee? Opie, Gomer, Floyd the Barber? Not in this one, he is one Wildman !

[@collette333]

O Andy...What a guy...just awesome

[@mrjohnstgeorge]

He did'nt need special effects. He was the effect.

[@sealteamryx6758]

He got the obnoxiousness down so well for this movie he was quite good at being an SOB

[@maureenobrien4807]

He was fucking scary on this picture.

[@eugenehorner3722]

He can be funny and serious.

[@blakelomba3469]

Play them blues sheriff!!

[@seka1986]

Sheriff Andy Taylor.

[@jimfinley2300]

the best classic

[@drunkadventureswithbill]

I feel bad he got Typecast he really had range The antithesis of Sheriff Taylor

[@davidstruck8109]

Damn, Andy Griffith had a set of pipes on him. If acting hadn't worked out he could have gone into country singing no problem.

[@nobunkers4warmongers141]

When I was a Little Boy, a Hillbilly just like this used to love on me

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

Andy has said in an interview that Lonesome Rhodes is a monster, but then he has called Will Stockdale a “most Christlike creature .” 😊

[@TheBoyWhoCouldntLearn-gu5kn]

he's channeling dave van ronk at 1:28

[@paulthomson8824]

Patricia Neale - was she in HUD? and with Gary Cooper in Fountainhead?

[@RBAILEY57]

Gary Cooper impregnated her when they were making "The Fountainhead". She had an abortion that she later regretted.

[@KoreyKruse]

The movie that predicted the rise of Trumpism in America - 60 years before it happened.

[@shaolinwisdom]

Except Trump is way way less talented than Lonesome Rhodes. Lol

[@dorabolick9275]

Actually BIDENISM!

[@sparten117211]

You mean what the Dems have been doing since the 1830s?

[@KoreyKruse]

@@dorabolick9275 No. The character is a populist and a nationalist, exactly like Trump. Sleepy Joe is not Lonesome Rhodes.

[@KoreyKruse]

@Likes&Favorites Trump is exactly like the movie. He's a populist and nationalist and jingoist and all around huckster like Lonesome Rhodes.

[@Bastard471]

just atke one...lea still not batman..who lets these kids smieoke...m

[@Dr_C_Smith]

Can you translate that into English?

[@goofkat1737]

good movie----though bad look at elvis; this movie meant to bad mouth elvis.

[@lonesomerhodes8564]

Uhm. Not at all

[@feliciawilcox6202]

Lonesome Rhodes

[@bobthetvfan]

It was not intended to bad-mouth Elvis. Lonesome Rhodes was based on Arthur Godfrey, folksy-friendly on the air but a tyrant behind the scenes, given his firing of singer Julius LaRosa and other regulars.

[@micgivens23]

goof kat Not true. Arthur Godfrey.
