CGiii Comment

Excruciating to listen to...the praise that Griffth has received is beyond comprehension.

He screams every line, there is absolutely no subtlety in his performance nor in the writing.

Fame corrupts...we all know that, it would be a little more interesting if more intelligence had been injected into the process.

The CGiii element is slight (and subtle) but, it is there...it's the agent.

The(ir) Blurb...

"A Face in the Crowd" charts the rise of a raucous hayseed named Lonesome Rhodes from itinerant Ozark guitar picker to local media rabble-rouser to TV superstar and political king-maker. Marcia Jeffries is the innocent Sarah Lawrence girl who discovers the great man in a back-country jail and is the first to fall under his spell.
