In the Hemphill Film Club we love films and talking about them. This month we are discussing A Face in the Crowd, the 1957 satirical drama directed by Elia Kazan and starring Andy Griffith (in his film debut), Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau.
The story centers on Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, a drifter who is discovered by the producer (Neal) of a small-market radio program in rural Arkansas. Rhodes ultimately rises to great fame and influence on national television. It is as timely today as it was in 1957.
The film is available at the Greensboro Public Library and on some streaming and online resources.
This is an in-person and Zoom event. We welcome newcomers to discuss the joys of film. Contact Ronald Headen at 336-412-6199 or email for more information, or to receive a Zoom registration link.
