A Face in the Crowd

Back in `57 Elia Kazan and Budd (What Makes Sammy Run?) Schulberg cooked up this stinging and incredibly prescient indictment of the media's ability to make a star and a man's ability to buy into his stardom lock, stock and barrel. Andy Griffith gives one of the great performances in this movie, and it's hard to believe he didn't go on to make more great dramas. Anyway, it's on TCM this month and if you haven't seen it before you should.
