A Face In The Crowd
Elia Kazan's 1957 satire on media demagogues, grass roots politics and early advertising mediums is so prescient to Donald Trump's America that it's almost scary. Andy Giffith showed just how talented he truly was as the sweating, boozing, and manipulative Larry 'Lonesome' Rhodes... a cross between Will Rogers and Huey Long. When you think that millions of people watched this guy play the lovable Andy Taylor... the transformation to Lonesome Rhodes seems like an evil doppelganger.
