Arkansas on Screen: A Face in the Crowd (1957, NR)
May 2, 2026 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM
Filmed in Arkansas and directed by the legendary Elia Kazan, A Face in the Crowd is one of the most powerful and prophetic films ever made. Andy Griffith delivers a stunning, against-type performance as a drifter who rises to media stardom—only to reveal the dangerous consequences of unchecked influence. Decades ahead of its time, the film explores fame, populism, and media manipulation in ways that feel shockingly relevant today. Seeing this landmark film in Arkansas, where it was shot, adds an extra layer of significance to an already unforgettable cinematic experience.
