Andy Griffith's new movie opened in his North Carolina hometown.
The Mount Airy News reported that "Play the Game" was shown Sunday to a packed house at the Downtown Cinema in Mount Airy. The film stars Griffith as a widowed grandfather living in a retirement home. He tries to learn how to be a ladies' man from his grandson.
The independent film also stars Paul Campbell, Marla Sokoloff, Liz Sheridan and Doris Roberts. It was written, directed and produced by Marc Fienberg, who was inspired by his grandfather's experience re-entering the dating world.
Among those who attended the showing Sunday was Betty Lynn, who played Thelma Lou on "The Andy Griffith Show."
"Play the Game" opens nationally Friday.
