A Face in the Crowd (1957): Lonesome Rhodes is No Andy Taylor
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 26, 2019

A FACE IN THE CROWD ( 1957 )
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Nov 6, 2016
One of my favorite films is “A FACE IN THE CROWD.” Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau were wonderful. In fact, I enjoyed every one’s characterizations and Elia Kazan’s message of cynicism was spot on. Power brokers…false prophets… charlatans…snake oil salesmen read more

The Crowd (1928)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on May 17, 2016

THE CROWD ( 1928 )
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jun 26, 2015
I did it. I did it for History. I did not blink. I did not avoid. I did not retreat. I watched a silent movie. “THE CROWD.” WoW! What a simple epic tale of the life of a young man. I was stunned and amazed by the simple, straightforwardness of this tale. But not simple for simple’s sake. It’s read more

Take the differences, for instance, between the 1932 film "The Crowd Roars" and the 1939 film "Indianapolis Speedway." Same story (by Howard H read more
