GREAT movie, but the character’s name was Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes.
While I am aware of Mr. Griffith’s political bent, I’ve never heard that he resembled his “Face In the Crowd” character. Is this true? Does he have the reputation for being a loveable, folksy guy onscreen and an SOB offscreen?
Regards,
Thank you for the correction. He has always played to the liberal mindset by being the lovable, folksy guy. It is his sales model and it works. Whatever he is really like has been kept out of the spotlight but be sure that he really isn’t Sherrif Andy any more than Don Knotts was really Barney.

W J Clinton always brought this movie and character to mind when I was ‘forced’ to observe him.
