Glen Campbell Plays It Safe
27 October 2021
Glenn Campbell returns from Louisiana with a single ambition: to appear on the Louisiana Hayride radio show. Before that happens, he goes through several low-key and episodic adventures with sketchy characters, from hot-car smuggler Pat Hingle, to his sister Leigh French and her husband Dom Deluise, to several pretty ladies.

For his follow-up to TRUE GRIT, Campbell sings half a dozen songs. He played it safe, going with a novel by Charles Portis, screenwriter Marguerite Roberts, and co-star Kim Darby. It's a pleasant little bit of fluff, with Jack Haley Jr. As director; Jack Haley Sr. Has a role.

I suspect it was modernized slightly. The Louisiana Hayride ceased broadcasting in 1960.
