A Face in the Crowd (Criterion Collection)

She’d watch with growing unease as her charismatic and crafty discovery rose from regional sensation to nationally televised--and ambitious--demagogue. Prescient look at the intersection of media, celebrity, and politics from director Elia Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg co-stars Walter Matthau, Anthony Franciosa, Lee Remick. 126 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); documentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
