Face In The Crowd, A (1957)

A female television executive turns a folk-singing drifter into a powerful media star.

Dir: Elia Kazan Cast:  Andy Griffith , Patricia Neal , Anthony Franciosa .
126 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Elia Kazan. Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Anthony Franciosa, Walter Matthau, Lee Remick, Kay Medford. Perceptive script by Budd Schulberg about homespun hobo (Griffith) discovered by Neal and promoted into successful--and unscrupulous--TV star. Cast gives life to fascinating story. Film debuts of Griffith and Remick. Look for young Rip Torn and Lois Nettleton. Many celebrities also appear as themselves, including Burl Ives, Mike Wallace, Betty Furness, Bennett Cerf, Faye Emerson, and Walter Winchell.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Raoul Walsh. Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Marion Burns, George Walsh, J. Farrell MacDonald, Noel Madison. Wholly entertaining film blending comedy, romance, melodrama in one neat package; cop Tracy falls in love with waitress Bennett, whose sister and father become involved with a gangster. Stars at their most charming, with bottomless reserve of snappy dialogue.

An unemployed man turns to crime when he gets his girlfriend pregnant.

69 min, TV-PG
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Frank Borzage. Spencer Tracy, Loretta Young, Marjorie Rambeau, Arthur Hohl, Walter Connolly, Glenda Farrell, Dickie Moore. Typically lovely Borzage romance; penniless Young moves in with shantytown tough guy Tracy, hoping to develop a real relationship in spite of his reluctance. Tracy's ultra-macho character is a bit tough to stomach at times, but film's enormous heart conquers all, bolstered by appealing performances. Originally released at 75m.

D: William K. Howard. Spencer Tracy, Colleen Moore, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vinson. Considered by many a precursor to CITIZEN KANE, Preston Sturges' script tells rags-to-riches story of callous industrialist (Tracy) in flashback. Silent-star Moore gives sensitive performance as Tracy's wife.

D: Harry Lachman. Spencer Tracy, Claire Trevor, Henry B. Walthall, Alan Dinehart, Scotty Beckett. No Dante in this yarn of carnival owner who gets too big for his own good; just one elaborate sequence showing Satan's paradise in good Tracy vehicle. Young Rita Hayworth dances in one scene.

D: Charles Reisner. Spencer Tracy, Madge Evans, Henry Wadsworth, Grant Mitchell, Lois Wilson, Clara Blandick, Claude Gillingwater.

D: Tim Whelan. Spencer Tracy, Virginia Bruce, Lionel Atwill, Harvey Stephens, Robert Barrat, James Stewart. Tracy is good as usual playing a hard-drinking newspaper reporter who specializes in covering murders.
