Thank you so much! It's not on Netflix, but I reserved it from my Library on VHS.
"Lonesome Rhodes, a big ol' teddy bear of a man, sits in a dusty, squalid Arkansas jail, swapping stories with his fellow drifters and plunking on his guitar. It's not much of a life -- until a chance encounter skyrockets Lonesome to more fame, money, and power than even the greediest man can handle."

Andy? Lee Remick!?!?! Elia Kazan? Oy! THANKS! Don't know how I've managed to miss this one...
That's Jim Nabors, great voice.
I would check either
www.amazon.com to buy or
www.netflix.com to rent
Ernest T. Bass!
You're right. Helen Krump (or maybe Frump) was Andy's "squeeze"

Face in the Crowd - he was a con artist - much like Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry,
My favorite was Gomer Pyle in "CITIZEYN ARREYST"

You've never heard of Andy's gospel CDs? There are two that I know of: "I Love To Tell The Story - 25 Timeless Hymns" (1996) and "Just As I Am: 30 Favorite Old Time Hymns" (1998). Both are bestsellers.
I'll bet your insights were profound at the time or was it the aide clumsily pulling on your urinary foley catheter?......That would "incite" me to wrath!
He was the Daddy who always made everyhing right, in the end, no matter what.
Remember when Barney, as acting sheriff, had jailed the whole town?
I never thought of it that way, but your right! Excellent point.
"Daddy and Them." Ding-Ding-Ding! What do I win?
"Daddy and Them"? Never heard of it. When was it made?
For the first half it was an extraordinary movie, easily one of the best I have ever seen.
For some reason it seemed to sort of lose it's drama in the last part.
My eternal admiration is the prize for this round.
A very dark role for Andy. He kills a man with a shotgun, burns down his own house and visits a prostitute--not necessarily in that order.
