In Reply to: "A Face in the Crowd" 1957, directed by Elia Kazan posted by vacuous on May 3, 2024 at 23:05:45:
Great and prophetic movie. And very relevant 65yrs later. Seeing genial ole' Andy Griffith is this role was shocking, and that is just the tip of the iceberg in this movie.
Kazan was a controversial director. He allegedly incriminated hollywood associates when he testified before the HUAC inquisition. He was trying to avoid the blacklist, but ironically ended up on a sort of 'grey' list because many in holywood refused to work with him after.
