USA 1997, 16mm, B&W, 7 min. World Premiere
Director: Duncan Brantley Before he became America's favorite sheriff, 24-year-old Andy Griffith earned extra cash doing stand-up comedy. He recorded "What It Was Was Football" in 1953 and it led directly to Griffith's Hollywood discovery. In an update of this comedy classic about a country bumpkin who stumbles into a college football game, director Duncan Brantley has married Griffith's comedy recording with 1950s motion picture footage to create a delightful homage. |
