Budd Schulberg's A Face in the Crowd, the 1957 Elia Kazan television press agent romantic melodrama ("Power! He loved it! He took it raw in big gulpfuls... He liked the taste, the way it mixed with the bourbon and the sin in his blood!"; "I'm not just an entertainer... I'm a force, a power!"; "Power! He took it raw like his bourbon and his sin!"; "No picture has ever dared hit so close to home!"; "...and you and me [whom he privately calls slobs] we not only let him in our houses once a week...we [slobs] we do whatever he tells us!"; "'I'm not just an entertainer...I'm a force, a power..!'"; "Story and Screen Play by Budd Schulberg"; "Songs by Tom Glazer and Budd Schulberg"; about a poor Southern man who is discovered by a TV agent and becomes very powerful thanks to his folksy appeal, but it is all a front, and he falls as quickly as he rose) starring Andy Griffith (as Lonesome Rhodes), Patricia Neal (as Marcia Jeffries), Anthony Franciosa (as Joey DePalma), Walter Matthau (as Mel Miller; in his fourth movie role!), Lee Remick (as Betty Lou Fleckum), Percy Waram (as General Haynesworth), Rod Brasfield (as Beanie), Marshall Neilan, Charles Irving, Howard Smith, Paul McGrath, Kay Medford, Alexander Kirkland, and Charles Nelson Reilly

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!).

The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and creases, tiny tears, and some paper loss in some foldlines (there was more paper loss in the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was folded up; those foldlines are the two top left vertical foldlines running down 2" into the image and the horizontal foldline between those two vertical foldlines). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
