Amazon.com essential video:
More timely now, perhaps, than when it was first released in 1957, Elia Kazan's overheated political melodrama explores the dangerous manipulative power of pop culture. It exposes the underside of Capra-corn populism, as exemplified in the optimistic fable of grassroots punditry Meet John Doe. In Kazan's account, scripted by Budd Schulberg, the common-man pontificator (Andy Griffith) is no Gary Cooper-style aw-shucks paragon. Promoted to national fame as a folksy TV idol by radio producer Patricia Neal, Griffith's Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes turns out to be a megalomaniacal rat bastard. The film turns apocalyptic as Rhodes exploits his power to sway the masses, helping to elect a reactionary presidential candidate. The parodies of television commercials and opinion polling were cutting edge in their day (Face in the Crowd was the Network of the Eisenhower era), and there are some startling, near-documentary sequences shot on location in Arkansas. An extraordinary supporting cast (led by Walter Matthau and Lee Remick) helps keep the energy level high, even when the satire turns shrill and unpersuasive in the final reel. There's an interesting parallel in Tim Robbins's snide pseudodocumentary Bob Roberts: both these pictures have almost as much contempt for the lemmings in the audience as for the manipulative monsters who herd them over the cliff. --David Chute

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Not the Andy Griffith you are used to. Incredible film ! Want to see Andy Griffith give an over the top performance ? Well he gives the wildest performance of a lifetime as Lonesome Rhodes. He plays a loud mouthed country boy who can sing, and radio hosts/talent scouts use him on his station, and continues to grow until he become a rich obnoxious, overbearing, wheeling, dealing evil businessman. He is TREMENDOUS in this movie,just so over the top. He gets too big for his britches. His love interest, Patricia Neal, well sort of , sees he is becoming too much and decides to pull the plug n his career. Incredible film from start to finish. Nothing like the Andy Griffith you are used to seeing... A great great film that I highly recommend. Nothing like Ive ever seen before, not like this. + See Full Customer Review
