A must-see. Timelessly relevant. Brace yourself. Heres an Andy Griffith u've never seen b4. This ain't Mayberry & Matlocks not here either
If you only know Andy Griffith from his eponymous TV series, get ready to be floored. This is one of the great performances in film history.
Another side of Andy Griffith, like better as sheriff Taylor! The action ln old movies is way over the top!!
Andy Griffith as an all too real super villain. A strong argument against populist fascism. Not sure if we get a happy ending IRL though.
Surprisingly dark and prescient. Andy Griffith subverts expectations in a piece of brilliant casting. Patricia Neal is nuanced & relatable.
Underseen classic with a landmark performance by Griffith
Good. It has it's thrills but unless you can watch older films don't watch it
A film that is just as relevant today as it was the day it was made. Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal shine throughout. I love this film!
Elia Kazan’s direction is top notch in this study of fame and corruption. Andy Griffith is absolutely fantastic in this role.
We’re definitely not in Mayberry anymore. Andy Griffith absolutely shines in this film. And the subject matter still remains so relevant!
