A Face in the Crowd, Budd Schulberg, and Andy Griffith

I just noticed the reports of the death of Budd Schulberg, novelist and playwright. Among other information, Powerline noted that Schulberg's A Face in the Crowd was based on his short story called "Your Arkansas Traveler." For information see the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture.

What I also found interesting was Andy Griffith's performance in this movie. He showed that he was more than Andy Taylor or Ben Matlock.
