Soon this “wrong man” finds himself pursued by a host of colorful troublemakers like the glamorous adventuress Aurora-Celeste (Topkapi’s Melinda Mercouri) and the shifty smuggler Steve-Antonio (A Hatful of Rain’s Tony Franciosa), who himself is pursued by the blonde American Amy Franklin (Gidget’s Sandra Dee). Delightfully directed by Ronald Neame (Gambit, The Poseidon Adventure) and Cliff Owen, the film also boasts Bert Kaempfert’s big-band score, which introduced the melody for the Frank Sinatra hit “Strangers in the Night.”

DVD & Blu-ray: A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) - Criterion Collection

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A Face in the Crowd chronicles the rise and fall of Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes (Andy Griffith), a boisterous entertainer discovered in an Arkansas drunk tank by Marcia Jeffries (Patricia Neal), a local radio producer with ambitions of her own. His charisma and cunning soon shoot him to the heights of television stardom and political demagoguery, forcing Marcia to grapple with the manipulative, reactionary monster she has created. Directed by Elia Kazan from a screenplay by Budd Schulberg, this incisive satire features an extraordinary debut screen performance by Griffith, who brandishes his charm in an uncharacteristically sinister role. Though the film was a flop on its initial release, subsequent generations have marveled at its eerily prescient diagnosis of the toxic intimacy between media and politics in American life.
