Before Andy Griffith starred as Sheriff Andy Taylor on CBS’s The Andy Griffith Show in 1960, he had starred in two very popular, extremely different movies. One was 1957’s A Face in the Crowd, in which he showed he could play a character much darker and more manipulative than his merry Mayberry persona. The other was 1958’s No Time for Sergeants, the movie version of the 1955 U.S. Steel Hour live Golden Age telecast of the same name, also
