Review of A Face in the Crowd (1957) by Sv G — 15 Jun 2007
If I were going to make a list of top 10 American made movie "masterpieces" this would be on that list. Brilliant story by Schulberg, Direction that could have only been done by Elia Kazan. Griffith, Neal and Matthau were outstanding.
I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. To have been made in 1957, it was very far ahead of it's time. Watch it you'll see that what this movie warns of THEN, is exactly what has happened to this country NOW.
All about how television has changed the world of politics forever. The Networks in hand with the politicians in hand with the advertisers in hand with the Networks. Extreme right and Extreme Left politics (which now-a-days has been reduced to nothing more than republicans and democrats) were rebuilt from the ground up by that "little box" the movie refers to that we all stare into like sheep far too many hours of each day.
