Anybody remember the old Andy Griffith movie, "A Face in the Crowd"?

I do. Excellent film.

I once read that at the time it was released, it was considered almost science fiction, because the concept of a demagogue captivating the nation and gaining huge power and fame via TV exposure seemed far-fetched. Today, of course, it's all too familiar (and so is the ending). A very prophetic film.
