Trivia
Film debut of Andy Griffith.

Goofs
"Lonesome Rhodes" is in jail for a week for being drunk and disorderly. When he's asked to sing a song, he pulls his guitar out of its case along with a visible bottle of whiskey. It's highly unlikely the police wouldn't have searched his guitar case as a matter of safety. (He could have had a gun in there.) Certainly, they would have found and confiscated a bottle of "hooch", especially from a prisoner who had been charged with drunkenness in the first place.

Quotes
Mel Miller: [commenting on one of Lonesome Rhodes' on-air tirades after the two have had a falling out] I'll say one thing for him, he's got the courage of his ignorance.

Hilariously dramatic

One of the best pictures I've seen to date. Griffith had the part of the womanizing, opinionated, lazy, loud mouthed bum down pat. In fact, the entire cast was superb in this dynamic, gripping, and in the first half, uproariously funny drama which clearly shows how ego can not only destroy the egotist but those close to him. This film is an equal to Griffith's fine performances as Horton Maddock in "Savages" and Howard Pike in "Hearts of the West". 4 stars.
