Might be a good time to bring out this old chestnut. In this interview with Andy Griffith, he said emphatically: "I guess people at that time didn't think it could happen. It can happen." Today was the first time I've seen this. The movie is called "A Face in the Crowd." Someone posted this on Threads:

8. Looks like you can stream it

It's available for free on Tubi and Roku. I definitely want to watch the entire movie, although it will be depressing since we're already there... I just wish that we would have a happy ending like the movie does.
