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...

There is a fairly recent Billy Bob Thorton film that Andy is in. He is the patriarch of an alcoholic family. Who can name that flick?

"A Face in the Crowd" was interesting.

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.
