Agreed! On several occasions in the past I've noted that Andy Griffith's stellar performance in this film ...

...bore an uncanny resemblance to the unlikely meteoric rise of a certain Texas politician whose homespun manipulations and sleazy deceptions should be familiar to everyone here. ;O)

(Note: The references being political in nature, like the film, are mostly found over on the Outside Asylum board, but I mentioned this film over here as well.)

There are additional references, but these early ones were the most obvious and to the point; These should make excellent discussion points if anyone wishes to delve into the uncanny prophetic similarities with current history.
