An ambitious radio reporter comes across charismatic folk singer Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes and gives him the exposure that will propel him from TV star to political rabble-rouser. Andy Griffith stars as the manipulative and egotistical Rhodes in his film debut. Directed by Elia Kazan, A FACE IN THE CROWD proves prescient when it comes to the dark side of the relationship between media and politics.
