A Face in the Crowd (1957) Runtime: 126 minutes | Director: Elia Kazan | Starring: Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau
A powerful and provocative classic, A Face in the Crowd tells the story of a drifter named Lonesome Rhodes, who rises from obscurity to become a national media sensation—and a dangerously influential figure. As his fame grows, so does his ego, exposing the dark side of celebrity, charisma, and mass media manipulation. With unforgettable performances and a biting social message that feels eerily relevant today, A Face in the Crowd is a gripping exploration of power, fame, and the people who shape public opinion.
