SNUBS: A Face in the Crowd (1957)
“I'll say one thing for him, he's got the courage of his ignorance.”
1957 came hard for us with the ever-menacing presence of…Andy Griffith? This one is a real underrated gem, a heady brew of media stardom, political power and ego that makes an aimless narcissistic drifter into a king drunk on his sway. Everyone is fantastic in this movie and it has absolutely zero hardware to show for it - a fact that would be utterly shocking if not for the notes we get into with the trivia. Get yourself hyped up with a couple of Vitajex as we discuss A Face in the Crowd on Have a Good Movie!
