It is an interesting study to watch Andy Griffith mature as a person and actor during his career. Early, in movies like "No Time For Sergeants," Griffith effortlessly acted a backward country bumpkin, as if this was his real personality. This continued with the Andy Griffith Show, but you may detect a change in his character as the years went by as Sheriff Andy Taylor became more dignified, complete with changes in his voice as Griffith seemed to shift the buffoonery from his character to other regulars in Mayberry, most notably Don Knots and Goober and the town drunk. Finally, in "Matlock," Griffith is an accomplished actor and his character appears to match the real man, skillful in his craft and respected by everyone. There is no buffoonery in Matlock! Andy Griffith seemed to like the good looking women. Look at the picture in Wikipedia! And Nancy Stafford in this episode is showcased as a beauty!
