A Face in the Crowd



Meet Lonesome Rhodes: drifter, storyteller and guitar-picker. He's been in and out of jails aplenty but now he has reason to smile. He's just met his perfect match, a piece of talking furniture known as television.

Andy Griffith made his stunning movie debut as Lonesome, a big ol' teddy bear whose meteoric rise to TV fame is paralleled by his plunge into booze, sex and political corruption. From On the Waterfront's Academy Award-winning collaborators, director Elia Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg, A Face in the Crowd carries the white-hot edge of filmmakers who know the media world from the inside out. Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau, Anthony Franciosa and film-debuting Lee Remick are the other faces you'll remember in this captivating Crowd.
