Andy Griffith, who died Tuesday at the age of 86, will be remembered with tributes on Turner Classic Movies and TV Land.
TCM will air four of Griffith's more prominent movies on July 18, starting at 8 p.m., beginning with the 1957 Elia Kazan film "A Face in the Crowd," which also starred Patricia Neal, Anthony Franciosa, Walter Matthau and Lee Remick, and featured Griffith as drifter-turned-villainous media sensation Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes.
