An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) 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 NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie! Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us! So it is an original still from 1957, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good. There is a tiny tear in the bottom left corner. Learn More about condition grades
