This story has been told in many forms, (the most well- known being THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME), but rarely has it been told this well or suspensefully since. Think of it as 'DUEL' on-foot, as Bottoms, witness to a cold-blooded murder committed by Griffith, must make it back to town without food, water or most of his clothes, the deranged hunter dogging his every step. As Mayberry sees very little crime, Andy often finds more of a challenge in managing his quirky cousin.

He enlists Bottoms as a helper/guide, with the young man having no idea that Griffith's character is bored with the usual game, and has his (literal) sights set on bagging the ultimate trophy.MAN. This release collects every episode from season four of the long-running series about North Carolina widower and small-town Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) as he juggles the duties of parenthood and career in idyllic Mayberry. Sam Bottoms (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW) co-starred as an unsuspecting local from the town Griffith visits to bag his latest prey. It was years before I would see A FACE IN THE CROWD, but when I first saw this excellent TV thriller, I imagine it must've dropped a lot of jaws to see amiable Sheriff Andy Taylor cast against type as one mean 'sumbitch' - not only doing a great job at it, but having fun as well! Griffith glowers with gleeful menace as a rich lawyer whose hobby is big-game hunting. This is one of those movies I really wish was available on DVD, as many of the early Aaron Spelling classics should be.
