In A Face in the Crowd, drunken drifter Larry Rhodes becomes the unexpected star of a local radio show.

Over time, Rhodes grows convinced of his power to manipulate and control millions of Americans.
Elia Kazan
Elia Kazan was a film and theater director, screenwriter, and writer. He won two best director Oscars ( Gentleman’s Agreement and On the Waterfront) and an honorary Oscar. He helped create the legend of Marlon Brando (Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront) and of James Dean ( East of Eden). America, America, Splendour in the Grass, Baby Doll, and Panic in the Streets are some of his better-known films. An extraordinary realist and stylist who changed the face of American cinema after World War II, he was rejected by some in the film industry after testifying before McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee.
