I choose mainly old movies and TV shows for my family to watch. I am very picky about watching things that are clean and family friendly. I discovered this movie that I hadn't heard of, and we love Andy Griffith. After seeing the reviews about how family friendly it is, I was excited. After watching about half the movie (we turned it off halfway), I do not agree that this is family friendly. The scene with the burlesque dancers shows women very scantily clad and eyeing Sam (Andy) provocatively. One woman has no pants on. Another has an extremely low cut dress on. She gets up against Sam with her chest in his face, and she asks him to help with her battery. He has his hands on her as he fixes a cord hanging on her body. It's an uncomfortable and sexually tense scene as he's a married pastor touching on a provocatively dressed woman. Once he fixes her battery, propellers on her boobs start spinning, and she gets close to show Sam. He giggles and says, "Twin engines!" I was so upset to expose my children to all of this! Then the movie continues with a burlesque show. I can't say what else is shown in this scene as I fast forwarded past it. I already decided that we wouldn't be watching this again, but I hoped the remainder of the movie would be ok. Shortly after the burlesque scene, Sam angrily yells, "Damnation!" It's meant as an expletive. Around this part of the movie he also yells something about a stripper. Soon after that someone starts talking about a townsman who is having affairs with 3 different widows. It was one thing after another. At this point we turned the movie off. Much of what people consider family friendly is filled with filth. I wanted to leave this review in case another family who shares our values is reading reviews to determine if this movie is appropriate.
