Andy Griffith's performance is basically two tones: Nasty and LOUD-- non-stop.
I couldn't wait for the camera to switch to Patricia Neal, who was very good in this movie. But Griffith's performance was just too much of everything. I wonder why didn't Elia Kazan see this? I heard he understood actors---here, the over-done acting of Griffith ruins a good idea for a movie.
