A Face in the Crowd
When radio producer Neal comes across imprisoned down-and-out guitar-playing Griffith she is gripped by his unique amateur placidity. She straightaway puts him on the wind, and he turns into an overnight renown whose force soon stretches from coast to skim, on wireless as well as television. As he becomes more and more self-obsessed and uses his pull to his own more favourably, she fears championing the worst. The earliest half of A Face in the Faction is genuinely intriguing and competently handled at hand Kazan, but it quick degenerates into moralizing diatribe. Network said it all again, but with more sophistication.
