A Face in the Crowd
1957 · TMDB 7.6
Directed by Elia Kazan
The rise of a raucous hayseed named Lonesome Rhodes from itinerant Ozark guitar picker to local media rabble-rouser to TV superstar and political king-maker. Marcia Jeffries is the innocent Sarah Lawrence girl who discovers the great man in a back-country jail and is the first to fall under his spell.
Why it matters
A drifter becomes a overnight TV sensation, but his newfound fame corrupts him and traps him in a persona he can't escape.
