  • Summary

  • Did this movie predict Trump back in 1957? We discuss the film debut of Andy Griffith in a role so dark, anyone who knows the Andy Griffith show might experience some uncomfortable dissonance.

    Some goodies that came up in our conversation:

    • The dance of joy from "Perfect Strangers"
    • This essay about the film on the Criterion website
    • Albert Brooks and Holly Hunter in a great scene from Broadcast News
    • The 'ten-word-answer' scene from The West Wing

    What did you think of the film, on a scale of 1–10 grains of inert matter? Let us know!
