"A Face In The Crowd" is a real gut punch to folks who've only known Andy Griffith as Sheriff Taylor or Matlock. The character he plays in that film is a master manipulator and deeply evil. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. If nothing else, you can play a long game of "spot the star before they hit it big."
Griffin was also a bad boy in "Pray For The Wildcats". Just about reprised his "Face In The Crowd" persona. The movie was about riding dirt bikes in Baja, so I liked it.
