- Andy Griffith, in an interview with Morning Exchange in 1972, talks about his role in the film, "A Face In The Crowd." He plays a character named Lonesome Rhodes, who is eerily similar to Donald Trump.
If you haven’t seen “A Face in the Crowd” you should, it is Andy Griffiths finest work as an Actor.
so true!
Sid, I've seen this movie, and I have the DVD of this movie - it is truly a shockingly prophetic story.
@@MegaJustGeorge They could make a remake of this film and it would still be relevant, but not as good as the original.
@@rockvilleraven I wholeheartedly agree with you, my friend - any remake of "A Face in the Crowd" would never be as good as the original. and I believe that's because Andy Griffith played the character of Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes so very well.
@@MegaJustGeorge And you can see it it in Andy's facial expressions during this interview - all those aspects of Lonesome Rhode's character. He's the only guy who could ever play him. Just as Angela Lansbury was the only one who could play the mother in the original Manchurian Candidate. Meryl Streep is a hell of an actress, maybe the best ever, but she couldn't come close to Angela in the remake. But Face in the Crowd is such a great story - and, yeah, timely - so I'd be curious to see it just as I was for the Manchurian Candidate remake.
I grew up as a little kid watching Andy , im almost 60 now , I miss you Andy RIP
Was a Young Donald Trump on Andy Griffith ep.14 1st season ? The horse Trader . I watched it but they may have cut it out .
I just turned 17 and I also grew up watching the Andy Griffith show. I remember when he died. I miss him. But I watch The Andy Griffith Show just about everyday. I have since I was 8 or 9.
@@puretrashnotforchildren7484 Yeah. He was playing some punk that moved to Mayberry and was getting Opie and his friends in all sorts of trouble. He threatened and bullied Opie until Opie decided to stand up to him and Trump backed down. Basically he was a weasel. A far cry from what he is as a President. He's a strong leader and I appreciate all he's done. A few things he's done I don't quite like but other than those few things I like him.
@@puretrashnotforchildren7484 sorry wrong answer Opie only mentioned trading with a friend we never see that kid now there is a episode were you do see Opie doing a trade with a nother kid show was called man in a hurry aired in January 14 1963 that kid was just a little young then Opie no way it would be Trump do some research before comment
@@ArthurMorgan-pq4tr nother pice of information for you damn asses Trump's first time in front of a camera (not counting being on the news or a late night show) was a 10 second one line in a movie called home alone lost in new York and that was just because they was using his hotel and that was his agreement Donald Trump saw it as free advertisement Trump said that on a Jay Leno late night show back in 95 just do some research
" now there was a deputy named Fife , carried a gun and a knife The gun was all dusty and the knife was all rusty , cause he never caught a crook in his life. "
Opie ain't learned how to write yet.
@@Beachy1955 that was actually in an episode.
Now hold on right there!, that is undermining the dignity of the law!
Love this episode 😊
@@Beachy1955that depends on what side of our culture u live on. If u ask a person of color what they thought about the 1950’s 60’s they would tell u it was hard very hard. The discrimination they endured was far more than the white population could even begin to imagine living under that kind of suppression and discrimination so if you was white, yeah the 50s in the 60s was pretty cool but if you were Asian black Mexican is pretty damn hard on you.
He's talking about a movie he did called Face In The Crowd.
Yes but it’s Trump in a nutshell, how he was an entertainer who became a group of people’s folk hero and could make them do whatever he said do.
@@jvillarreal74 Some people are easily led.
@Jacob McMahan it's seems you people are moron's because the first comment was 3 year's old and you people are committed to it maybe you should see how old the comment is before replying just saying he may not even have that account anymore just saying
@Jacob McMahan Um . . . is that the extent of your argument?
That was really good, u saw it last month again!
This is the Elias Kazan movie, "A Face in the Crowd". What it trying to be stated by Griffith as well as the movie is the danger of the media being used by people. The crowd may follow anyone who promises them the world without question. We as critical thinkers should raise many qustions pertaining to what kind of individuals we admire or even elect into office. I do believe that both Hitler and Mussolini as well as other leaders used the newsreels of their time to persuade "sheeple".
I mean that's not predicting Trump. That's taking a conversation out of context and reading into it cryptically.
They are more describing Biden with Soros pulling the strings. Trump was already President once & did a great job. Was not a dictator as they try to promote. How ridiculous!!! He did everything he said he’d do except “lock her up”. The country was in good hands. Secure borders, good economy until the left colluded with China to manufacture a virus to ruin it. That’s how much they care about this country.
It’s a conversation about the film “A Face in the Crowd,” which depicts characters that can emerge in society, and become great simply in people’s imaginations, just as Trump has.
@@DrJudyASmith you’re a fool. You take all the luster off being a doctor with your Trump derangement syndrome. Go seek the help of a psychiatrist.
@@DrJudyASmith you even look crazy
@@DrJudyASmith You imagine this fits trump
Andy was talking about a character of a politician that he played before the Andy Griffith Show.
Right, it's in the description.
+ James Fowler but it describes Trump to a T !!
Dude, watch the movie before you comment. I've seen the movie. A few times. And it was a great movie. The character ("Lonesome Rhodes") was NOT a politician. He was a musician. Good grief.
gravy......... I have seen the movie, several times. Trump is Lonesome Rhodes' huckster personality. what do you think we're discussing here? good grief !!
gravy....... you are correct that Rhodes was not a politician but his character was an amalgam of a Pete Seeger, musician, and Will Rogers, social commentator.
He's talking about his role in A Face In The Crowd. Great movie btw.
If I had a nickel for every time he clears his throat, I love Andy Griffith
You'd have about 4 dollars at the most
Smoking 🚬
Andy Griffith played a true monster in “A Murder In Coweta County” with Johnny Cash. Excellent, chilling performance.
Murder in Coweta County was a really good movie. He played another mean person in Under the Influence which dealt with alcohol and drug addiction.
Also in the TV movie, “Savages” he plays a bad guy. When he plays the good guy, you really love his character. When he plays the bad guy, you really don’t like him at all.
@@pzbeez1Well I liked Andy whether he played the bad or the good guy
@normamcmanus1139 Murder in Coweta County was a true story…Andy played John Wallace a big man around town who had the sheriff of Meriwether County in his pocket so to speak….. he killed one of his farm workers Wilson/ William Turner cause Turner stole two dairy cows from him…John Wallace thought he could get away with it but Sheriff Lamar Potts of Coweta County tracked him down put him in jail and he (Wallace) was tried found guilty and was executed in the electric chair…Johnny Cash played Sheriff Lamar Potts…if you’ll look at pictures of the real John Wallace he was barrel chested and bald…he looked nothing like Andy..love Andy I hope you will reply to this
He's just the best story teller
“He called them sheep…and then they turned him off.” I don’t think that would work these days. 🤔
Nope.
deplorables is what the people were called by hillary
No, it wouldn't. Because Trump had (has) the MAGA sheep convinced that it's OK to be sheep as long as they're *his* sheep, which are extraordinary, beautiful, prize-wnning sheep, the greatest sheep to be found anywhere on the face of God's green Earth.
@@leminpudding6512 Bonezpuz 🦴 still lost AGAIN
Trump said as much about his admirers and gained more of them.
He was just spinning a tale of a demagogue. It had happened much more recently to the 50s than to our future. He even mentions the inspiration. There others such as radio evangelists, Mussolini, Huey Long for him to draw on in contemporary memory at that point.
Hillary Clinton is Lonesome Rhodes
One great movie and Andy should be so proud of all the quality projects he's been in and influenced many more like Ron Howard that is also as good as they get. These are the people that make this world a better place.
He is talking his own role in a film called "A face in the crowd"
Of course he is, but it can't be denied that it sounds like Trump, with the sheep part.
@Quack quack you spelt Republican voters wrong.
@Quack quack Is that qhat Mr. beast tells you? you want that money don't you? You dad tells you Fox news stuff, and you just want to be Rich. But you can't get there. so you watch Quackity until you fall asleep crying? Right?
Every comment in this thread attacking Dems or Gops (while implying support of the other party) is wrong. Both parties defraud and manipulate the people while preserving and expanding corporate ownership of government. The tiny corporate-free wing is the only exception, and the Dem and Gop leaderships BOTH are doing all they can to block and remove those principled few.
A Face In The Crowd is a brilliant movie.
A Face In The Crowd is brilliant, and Andy is really good and scary in it.
I'm very good and scary in it lololololololol
😂
I'm am the Eggman, i am the Wahlrus, po do kee do kee do kee do do
Sheriff Taylor would have made a fine president.
Yeah, with a cabinet made up of Barney Fife's.
Yes, but not Andy Griffith. He was a Liberal pinhead.
If you believe in BIG GOVERNMENT.
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER exactly only a libtard would let barney have just 1 bullet in his gun at a time!
@@jonmacdonald5345 I absolutely support the 2nd Amendment. But Barney Fife might have been the one exception in America to the fact that gun control laws are bad.
Of course they were still unconstitutional in his case as well.
Andy was great in that movie. He was more than just Andy of Mayberry. If you've never seen the movie, "A Face In The Crowd" watch it as soon as you can.
Sounds more like him describing the average news anchor.
Sean hannity
npr abc nbc cbs msdnc cnnpc are full of activists from anderson cooper chris coumo jom acosta richard madcow
Sounds like Biden
Sound much more like he is describing Obama to me.
That's every human leader in history.
No, not really.
The funny thing is the guy that is interviewing him is named Fred Griffith from Channel 5 in Cleveland back in the day
thought I recognized him...... Thanks
Trump's mic was left on. He still got elected.
*****
And now we're stuck with a paranoid self serving narcissist.
I thought Hildabeast lost?
Rhodes1966
Face it, we were fucked either way.
Deep Ashtray hahahahahahaha so true. Nice vid but I totally disagree that he was talking about Trump. Trump didn't say or do anything that the people who voted for him weren't already saying or doing. In other words he didn't have to persuade them to do anything infact they pushed him (agree or disagree this is what happened)
jediRAVE
In many ways you are certainly correct. Trump is a con artist and salesman, he feeds of the crowds and knows how to tell them what they want to hear. The question is can he deliver? And Do we really want him to?
A FACE IN THE CROWD told a very good story about someone who lies, who abuses people, and who manipulates others. It was never if, but WHEN, and HOW, Lonesome would get his comeuppance. His immediate and spectacular downfall after a live incident that shocked and enraged so many people was like Will Smith's downfall after his shocking behavior at the Oscars.
Yes, when Will Smith did that slap at the Oscars, oddly I felt a strange loss. I don't feel that way about celebrities. I guess I had an opinion about him that was shattered.
I’ve seen this movie many times and it’s fantastic. Lonesome Rhodes started out that way,as a manipulator right from the start when he was in jail.
“What do I get out of this? I mean Mr. me,myself and I”. This movie is a powerful tale of how people use and manipulate the public to gain power.
“You’ve got to be a saint to stand up to the power that little box gives you”
You can keep your doctor
And I have nothing to do with Russia.
you know there are tens of millions of people who had no doctor to keep we need socialized medicine
So Obama told us.
I'm going to build a wall
Insurance companies have been dropping and adding doctors to their panels since insurance was invented. There is nothing the ACA did to cause this to happen more or less frequently than it had before. Are you advocating that the government should have exercised MORE control over a private industry?
The movie reminds me more of how the main stream media outlets and celebrities in Hollywood act towards their spaced out viewers.
Just discovered "A Face in the Crowd" and am excited to watch it. This clip only makes me want to watch it more. He is amazing in this clip, being himself - he almost had a Will Farrell vibe there for a minute. I grew up with him, Opie and I are the same age. THANKS for posting!!!!
A movie worth seeing (even though he gave away the ending). Amazing to see Andy Griffith play a monster so convincingly.
As for the Trump analogy, politics and entertainment began merging a long time ago.
I knew Andy Griffith when I was a kid! We were neighbors and I would swim in his pool! I only have one vague memory of it tho!
Wait what... Tell me more
@@divinethesunshine I was quite young at the time. We lived next door to him and me and my sisters would go and swim in his pool. My only memory is him and the pool. We were living in N. Hollywood at the time. That's all I remember. It was about 50 yrs ago!
If this describes Trump, then it describes every politician ever, pretty much.
trump is a traitor
It describes the kkk democrats party which is now COMMUNIST
Being interviewed on WEWS Channel 5's Morning Exchange sometime in the 1970's in Cleveland, Ohio!
Maybe the most underrated actor ever.
Andy was describing a role he played in the movie “A face in the crowd”. Nothing more to it....
It fits tRump to a tee.
@@tfcooksIt was literally Obama's Affordable Care Act creator who said this about Obama's voters. Trump never said any such thing.
@@swampgumpharpy7977 Mitt Romney?
@@tfcooks No bud. Your Mom after she finished sh!ting my come out this morning. Stupidity is bliss; relishing in it will send you to hell if my prayers work out.
I saw that movie. A Face in the Crowd. He did that movie before he went into television. It’s pretty good.
He never mentioned Donald Trump at all in this clip
At the time in 1972, Trump was still married to Ivana, and was making his first million.
Its not just Trump. This movie reminds me not only of several politicians but of many power players.
Frighteningly accurate description of Trump except the part where the people hated him when they heard what he's really like.
Lucky Obama hasn't been caught on tape. He took money to kill US industry. He's a traitor but his TV watching sheep love him.
Or Justin Trudeau laughing at blacks while in blackface as he publicly bows down before them.
Was going to take you seriously until I realized you were Canadian! Worry about your own country’s issues!
You do realize that this is based on his character in 1957 Drama film "A Face In The Crowd".
Sure, but it still foreshadows Trump’s rise and eventual fall.
Funny Andy Griffith play that character is Andy Taylor in Mayberry. Keep in mind nobody in that town was smart enough to fall down a flight of stairs without Andy's pre-approval and consultation. Griffith was a hard left Winger his whole life
He's talking about his movie...a face in the crowd. Good movie
A remarkable role for Andy Griffith, and a chilling reminder of easily a demagogue can ensnare the world.
I loved watching Andy Griffith with my dad as a kid. What sweet lovely life lessons and Don knots facial expressions and comedic movement was just fantastic always would make my dad and I crack up
He's taking bout the role he had in Face in the Crowd
He's talking about how most our representatives are appointed not elected from city council to president. Also Ronald Reagan Before his presidency, American politician and actor who served as the Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, after a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader.
He's talking about a role he played in the movie, a face in the crowd. 1957
That describes a lot of politicians.
He did a great job in that movie.
Yeah because it was him
Andy was talking about the character he played in the movie A Face In the Crowd .
Trump is the best president the US has had since Lincoln, who also was a conservative. 👌🏻
@Yankee Winner nah the jokes on everyone who voted for me lol
@Yankee Winner what joke? You think Lincoln was a beta leftist? 🤣
@Yankee Winner is what you say every time you look in the mirror.
@Yankee Winner nah Lincoln believed in the constitution, and no gun control. What Democrat/Libertarians today doesn’t want to edit or restructure parts of the constitution? The majority of Liberals today incorporate socialism so much that they’re only liberal by name.
@Yankee Winner I guess you’ve never been to the South or Midwest. The last bastions of real American freedom. There’s no limit to magazine capacity. Hardly any restrictions, blue states suffer from.
And was very good in the film and the character so much different than his Mayberry character.
Mr Griffith was talking about his charter Lonsome Rhodes in his 1957 movie that is nothing about Trump
As Floyd would say: "Heyyyy Anndeeeeee . . . " "It looks like the govenment will finally get off my back about barber shop regulations! Then, I can lower my price back to thirty five cents a cut!"
The next time businesses pass on savings to customers will be the first time.
I love listening to Andy talking about "HIS MOVIE ROLLS"
How about his movie biscuits?
@@MrPAULONEAL lol.
Spealing is harde
Looked up the movie on wikipedia. It's about a country music star who gets a television show.
"A Face In The Crowd" 1957...A wild change of pace for a Andy, who was shockingly realistic and believable in this flm.
Interesting video that has nothing to do with Trump.
Well,he definitely got the "real loser" part right",or did he mean sore loser
Typical humans . Only hearing and seeing what they wish. The interviewer asks "Who is this man? " The answer is Larry Rhodes. Griffith is talking about his role in the movie "A Face in the Crowd.
A young radio producer named Marcia Jeffries finds a charming town drunk named Larry Rhodes (Andy Griffith) and puts him on the air. Soon, Rhodes' local popularity gets him an appearance on television in Memphis, which he builds himself into a national network celebrity. He uses it to endorse a presidential candidate for personal gain. But because of his ego and womanizing things begin to fall apart.
Isolating Griffith's words from context might sound like he is predicting a future a Trump,Obama, or Hiliary but doesnt mention any names.
But if you really wish to find life imitating art try the Season one, episode 30 of "Trackdown" 1958.
A salesman by the name of Walter Trump peddles the idea of building a giant wall, which he claims would protect the towns people from a catastrophic cosmic event.
People are so convinced that they need the wall,they begin to rob the bank to pay for it.
At the end of this trackdown episode ,Trump is arrested by a Texas Ranger played by actor Robert Culp.(Robert Mueller) Later, Trump is shot and killed by a man named "Barron"(Barron Trump is the son of Donald Trump) who helped Trump to deceive the towns people.
Very weird!...Especially when names, promises, and attitudes almost ( not quite) mirror what we see in this country today. But no worries. It is just a movie.
Fun fact: movies aren't written by actors usually. Funner fact: And Griffith was actually predicting Conan OBrien losing the tonight show.
That's pretty prophetic since Conan wasn't going to be born till six years later.😂I take it you meant "funny fact."🤣
@@dontaylor7315 And Trump was a little boy. The title of this video is also a "funny fact"
@@miketocci Lol.Trump is STILL a little boy. I agree that whoever titled the video was sorta-kinda kidding. I noticed Griffith said "It can happen and it IS happening." Demagogues were rampant then as now, it just hadn't penetrated the White House yet. Btw "A Face in the Crowd" is Griffith's greatest performance ever imo.
Very misleading video title. Donald Trump was a CHILD only 11 yrs old when Andy's movie was made.
Huh.................sounds more like Barry in 2008.
Honestly, Trump talks openly the way Andy's character does in A Face in the Crowd and people don't turn away.
Sounds like Andy was personifying the main stream media
this is an interview of Andy Griffith roll in one of his films ... that is all it is ...
Thank you, I used to like Andy until I found out he was such a liberal piece of nothing!!! He really never recognized mt. Airy, his home town, glad he left North Carolina!!!
@@bobbywall172 I felt the same when I found out Kelsey Grammer was a conservative. never watched Frasier again. and ban every episode of cheers that he's featured in. I hear you brother!
thats from the movie " A face in the crowd"
He’s speaking about a movie that he did called” a face in the crowd” not about Trump.
The blowback he got from that role made him vow to his family he would never do something that intense again. The Andy Griffith show was his apology and subsequently his ministry.
And Matlock; he was great in that too.
he was taking about obama
Obama wasn't in show business.
Except, Trump expresses his real feelings all the time.
Sounds more like Killary...
Actually, Budd Schulberg did, just rewatched the film A FACE IN THE CROWD, and the similarities were eerie.
How true - if my memory serves me correctly, Schulberg wrote the screenplay based on a short story he had written, titled, "Your Arkansas Traveler", from his short story collection, "Some Faces in the Crowd".
He's talking about Lonesome Rhodes, not predicting anything.
*_NOOOO!!!...._* This is not describing Trump, thes *EXACTLY* describes Bill Clinton! *_>:(_*
Sounds like he's talking about Hillary with the open mic.
This is AMAZING PROPHETIC. Even as a movie plot ….
The conversation between these two men is interesting but at the time of this recorded conversation Mr Trump wasn't running for any office. Mr Trump will be a great president.
Respectfully.
obama is a muslim born in kenya
valkor........ but that's not what Trump said. he admitted Obama was born here.
TPartycrasher -Now we All know it's not true. It's going to be alright.
Best movie ever! Sheeple are easily fooled and love to mindlessly follow. Nothing changes. 🐑🐏
@A.D. Trump supporters are trained seals - he throws them a dead fish and they flap their flippers. Good night, you stupid idiots. Good night, you miserable slobs.
@@unpeople Biden supporters are pedophiles, just like ole Joe himself. Supporting the murdering of babies is disgusting and you're so proud of that? Miserable is crying like a baby because your candidate lost so you spend 3 years spending millions of $$ trying to find Trump guilty of doing what the Obama administration did. It must be hard not being able to accept facts. How much does it suck to hate someone so much yet have no feasible reason for your hatred? Your life must suck.
You're just upset That Trump lost the election sweetie...
@@MadDogW1 Yes, they hated Trump so much because he wasn't part of their evil game and they would blow up the world to get him out. He's not president anymore and they still can't stop talking about him. The economy was great, gas prices were low. Interest rates were low but they hated him soooooo much because he actually wanted to protect America. The media spoonfed the citizens what to believe and they swallowed it up. Now they're censoring free speech. It's down hill from here.
@@hopewins1629 They literally unleashed A plague to get rid of him. They're the true evil.
"Lonesome" Rhodes was the flipside of someone like Andy Taylor. Both could be influential through their personal charm - one for good and one for the feeling of sheer personal power over others. Give a man power and you find out a lot about them.
It's sad to know Andy Griffith was closer to Lonesome Rhodes in his personal life than he was Andy Taylor.
This is stupid. You could say this just about anyone. Propaganda from the op.
i found the comparison with President Trump to be kind of funny because the first thing i thought of was all the POTUS bashing celebs that are in the media right now....believing that they need to think for the people that enjoy their entertainment. ;)
exactly, ppl heard Hillary call us sheep and no one wanted her anymore
See Lonesome should have just said it was locker room talk and then HE'D get elected President.
I think he was actually predicting Reagan (that's probably who they're alluding to). But yeah, the shoe definitely fits today, and history tends to repeat itself.
Did Reagan give you diaper rash?
@@oldgoober1 if by "diaper rash" you mean tripled the national debt in just 8 years with voodoo economics, directly resulting in the last 3 recessions, then yes.
Predicted Obama to a tee.
@@drvike1961I wasn't referring to Obama, who never colluded with a hostile foreign nation to rig an election, nor did he withhold aid to an ally nation unless they agreed to help him rig another election, nor did he kill 140,000 (and counting) Americans with his negligence and stupidity. But you're probably already aware of that, and are just trying to be a wiseass on the internet, because I'd like to believe you're not really THAT stupid.
@@BobbyLCollinsLolol hopefully you’ve done some research in the last two years because that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in 2023 so far
This interview is about Lonesome Rhodes. Anything else is just an interpretation.
This has NOTHING to do with TRUMP!
What a stupid premise... Thanks Lonely Cloud your brilliant
Trump
no, sir. "you're" brilliant!
The trick here is that in 2015-16 when that audio switch was left on and we heard his horrid comments, half the country thought, "My hero." And here we are.
He may not have been “predicting” trump but certainly was describing him.
That's bs. I suppose you read daily horoscopes and believe that shit, too. This video isn't preducting, nor describing, Trump. But you go ahead and believe it, as it validates your TDS, lol.
One not liking Trump doesn't mean one likes Hillary or vice versa by default. That over-simplification just annoys me for some reason. Carry on then.
Betty M holy fucking shit. Thank you! Against my better judgement I read the arguments in UA-cam comments, and without fail any time someone criticizes Trump there are people saying "Oh, well Hillary this," and, "Hillary that."
There were more than just two deplorable candidates running for president, and the fact that people don't even consider those alternatives is (in my opinion) the reason the country is so fucked up.
I cannot express enough how glad I am to finally see someone who realizes this.
+Doctor Mushroom At least there's 2 of us. 😴
Betty M anything is better than obumer
To clarify, it doesn't mean one has to like Obama by default either.
Sounds kind of like Nixon recording all his conversations in the Oval Office, which were gradually made public after their existence was revealed to Congress by Alexander Butterfield.
He sounds like he's describing Obama, not Trump!
Exactly 😊
Baruk Obama was who Andy was describing.
Unfortunately, Andy was a big Obama supporter. He and Ron Howard even made commercials for them.
Of course, Andy is talking about his movie character, but that character is an archetype that fits the Former Guy like his extra large suit.
Reminds me of every person who voted for Hillary Clinton and joe Biden
Yes this was about a movie Andy was in, but it's amazing how you trumpets react to it because it hits home. But he mic is about to be turned on by Mueller. Ha ha!
Well this comment didn't age well LMAO
My goodness, a very young Mr Fred Griffith on The Morning Exchange (Cleveland, Ohio) interviewing the legends Andy Griffith. ❤️
😎😎😎 He describes the PsyOp of Television media. Truly the Devils influence on the mind and soul of MANKIND.
