Marcia, you just wait and see…I'll be the power behind the president…and you'll be the power behind me.
PATRICIA NEAL & ANDY GRIFFITH | A Face in the Crowd (1957)
#A Face In The Crowd#A Face in the Crowd 1957#Andy Griffith#Patricia Neal#Lonesome Rhodes#Marcia Jeffries#filmedit#classicfilmedit#filmblr#classicfilmblr#ritahayworrth#classicfilmsource#userdeforest#ladiesofcinema#cinemaspast#moviegifs#filmgifs#movieedit#oldhollywoodedit#afaceinthecrowdedit#pureanonedits#What an absolutely agonizing movie with two astounding lead performances.#Griffith gets the majority of the praise--and he is truly great! Probably the second most terrifying performance in 1950s cinema.#After Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter of course.#But Neal is completely and utterly haunting.#There's one shot of this film of her expression that has stuck with me for months.#And this scene!!!#The revelation that she created this monster! That without her he would have just been some bum! That she made this!#He is her creation forever more!!!#And she--needs to destroy him.
