A Face in the Crowd
This is an excerpt from the paper...
A Face in the Crowd is a masterful film that is especially worth viewing during election years when as a citizenry we must negotiate the path to picking new leaders - a path that is filled with misdirection and barriers. Elia Kazan, who directed this 1957 film, created a work that was both cynical and illuminating about the way that politics works in the United States. He presents us with a cast of characters who dazzle with personal charisma and use all of the tricks of Madison Avenue to con voters who are not in fact all that difficult to deceive to begin with. Central to the movie is the character of Lonesome Rhodes, played by Andy Griffith as a conman, a person on the look-out for that one big score. He gets his chance when he meets a radio producer (played by Patricia Neal), who decides to bank on his corn-pone accent and philosophizing. She gets him a spot on local radio and his success there eerily presages the current goings-on on talk radio - as he finds that his particular brand of political wisdom - which is all homily and no substance - plays better the bigger his audience is.
