Two weeks ago when Patricia Neal died, I mentioned the 1957 movie, “A Face In The Crowd,” in which she plays a TV producer who finds a loudmouth small-town drunk (Andy Griffith as Lonesome Rhodes) and turns him into a star by putting him in front of a camera and letting him spout off about everything, including politics.
If you’ve never seen it, set your DVR for Turner Classic Movies (TCM) at 7pm CT tonight. See which primetime cable news host Rhodes reminds you of most.
