Details
A Face in the Crowd chronicles the rise and fall of Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, a boisterous entertainer discovered in an Arkansas drunk tank by Marcia Jeffries, an ambitious local radio producer. His charisma and cunning soon shoot him to the heights of television stardom and political demagoguery, forcing Marcia to grapple with the manipulative, reactionary monster she has created. Directed by Elia Kazan from a screenplay by Budd Schulberg, this incisive satire features an extraordinary debut screen performance by Andy Griffith and offers a glimpse into the complicated--and sometimes problematic--relationship between media and politics in American life. $8.
