>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<

Trivia items below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.

  • SPOILER: In the "Making of" documentary on the 2005 DVD release of A Face in the Crowd (1957), Andy Griffith says that the inspiration for way that Marcia reveals Rhodes' hypocrisy (by broadcasting his true feelings about his audience after he believes the sound has been cut off) came from the famed "Uncle Don incident," in which "Uncle" Don Carney, a longtime children's radio host, was supposed to have been broadcast saying "there, that oughta hold the little bastards" into a live microphone after he thought it had already been turned off. Griffith recounted this story as fact, even though it is believed by most broadcasting historians to be nothing more than a widespread and very popular urban legend.
