The problem with watching films that you haven't seen for years or decades:
They are not always the movie you remember.
The other night I watched A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) with Andy Griffith.
I saw it when it first came out, and I thought it was "the greatest thing since chopped liver".
I may have seen it once more over the years, but not for a very long time.
Watching again, it was okay, but it certainly didn't have anywhere near the impact it had on me when I first saw it.
Maybe one shouldn't revisit these old films.
Doing so can sully a "golden" memory.
