The Crowd

1928 · TMDB 7.6

Directed by King Vidor

John, an ambitious but undisciplined New York City office worker, meets and marries Mary. They start a family, struggle to cope with marital stress, financial setbacks, and tragedy, all while lost amid the anonymous, pitiless throngs of the big city.

Why it matters

King Vidor's gritty portrait of an ordinary man lost in the anonymity of New York City. A rare Hollywood film that embraces realism and social commentary.
