    Important and Relevant, But Slow

A stark depiction of the rise of a demagogue.Director Elia Kazan's intense political drama A Face in the Crowd (1957) is  a striking testament to the power of media. Kazan demonstrates how a cult of personality can start from humble grassroots and fester into a malignant tumor upon society.A Face in the Crowd gives you insight into the lives of men like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump. You witness their sleaze, stupidity, manipulation, selfishness, crassness, racism, and contempt for their fellow men. Kazan satirizes the entire Republican party essentially within A Face in the Crowd.Budd Schulberg's script is one of cinema's best. His words feel so genuine to his redneck, senator, socialite, and everyman characters. His satirical critique clearly shows and tells you how tyrants and con artists fake their way to fame and influence. A Face in the Crowd does more than depict their ascent and fall, but also how these demagogues influence the populace with lies and catchphrases. It's all meticulous manipulation of the masses.Kazan's direction is impressive taking small town thinking and applying conservative rhetoric across the country. Kazan plays with conventions of song, radio, television, and speeches with a biting eye. His use of shadows, close-ups, and still shots are haunting as he openly displays all the dark grit of these shady characters. Elia Kazan's direction is the real star of A Face in the Crowd.Andy Griffith's powerhouse performance as Lonesome Rhodes is fascinating as he swings his entire body into this role. His soulful and captivating singing, coupled with his jeering one liners and endearing rural storytelling, make Griffith's leading man the gripping man of the hour. Griffith captures the selfish narcissist at his lowest personal moments, all while manipulating the audience of A Face in the Crowd much like Rhodes' own listeners and viewers. Watch the ratings indeed!Patricia Neal is outstanding and endearing as the woman that discovers and exploits Griffith's Lonesome. Her eventual mental and emotional destruction is horrifying and saddening, while entertaining as her character is the hero we need to stand up to Lonesome's fraudulence. Walter Matthau is interesting as the first man to realize how fake Lonesome is in actuality. His final monologue to Lonesome as Kazan pans inwards is classic filmmaking. Lee Remick is charming and mesmerizing in her film debut as Betty Lou.Tom Glazer's folk score is memorable and fun, serving to offset the fury you feel for how evil Lonesome's character really steeps to in A Face in the Crowd.In all, A Face in the Crowd is timeless in message, while too long and slow for modern audiences in honest. A half hour could have been cut to make the pacing hit you harder. As is, A Face in the Crowd is intriguing and fascinating, but will tune you out at times until Andy Griffith or Elia Kazan draw you back.

In today’s political climate, Elia Kazan’s A Face in the Crowd is as relevant as ever, demonstrating power’s ability to corrupt, and with great performances by Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal.

I truely loved this story!  I use to watch Andy Griffith as a child occasionally but have really started enjoying watching his reruns and when I watched a interview with the "Thelma Lou" actress she mentioned it.  So I looked it up and thought it looked good.  And was amazed!  For an old movie I found it to be very very touching and a lesson to be learned.
