Muni's weird acting style (he was recently off Scarface) somehow fits the film's furious tone, and director Mervyn LeRoy--as in his earlier Little Caesar--was dexterous enough to build the action to an unforgettable ending. Preminger broke the blacklist with his previous film, Exodus, and it rings through in this drama about a controversial nominee for secretary of state (a confident, stately Henry Fonda) accused of being a Communist. Advise and Consent (1962), an examination of deal making, party politics, and congressional diplomacy in Washington's legislative halls (based on the novel by Allen Drury), is one of his best.

I'm an influence, a wielder of opinion, a force... a force!Not always. Men without faces. Seeking a hotel room and the whereabouts of an ethnic Japanese farmer named Komoko, MacReedy runs smack into a wall of hostility that escalates into serious threats. Glenn Ford, at his slow-to-rile best, plays Richard Dadier, an incoming English teacher at North Manual High School. With The Americanization of Emily (1964), screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky (Marty) sinks his satirical fangs into a story of an American naval officer (James Garner) selected to be the first victim at the invasion of Normandy. An extraordinary supporting cast (led by Walter Matthau and Lee Remick) helps keep the energy level high, even when the satire turns shrill and unpersuasive in the final reel.

This one holds up, folks; it's a stunner. I'm not just an entertainer. In Kazan's account, scripted by Budd Schulberg, the common-man pontificator (Andy Griffith) is no Gary Cooper-style aw-shucks paragon. She's the logical culmination of the great 20th-centure love affair between Lonesome Rhodes and his mass audience.They love his voice, they love his guitar, they love his ideas... they should know some of his ideas.You put your whole self into that laugh, don't you?Here you see the lepers of the great television industry. A Face in the Crowd Otto Preminger expanded his vision in the 1960s with a whole series of ambitious, expansive dramas with huge casts and big themes.

Lonesome Rhodes . Novelist Evan Hunter burst America's postwar bubble when he described an inner-city school terrorized by switchblade-wielding juvenile delinquents. Why, they even slide our paychecks under the door so they can pretend we're not here. And you're not throwin' me off the train like poor Abe Steiner, either. Why, they even slide our paychecks under the door so they can pretend we're not here. Lonesome Rhodes . One of the first Hollywood films to deal openly with white racism toward Japanese Americans during World War II, Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) (directed by action maestro John Sturges, The Great Escape) stars Spencer Tracy as a one-armed stranger named MacReedy, who arrives in the tiny town of Black Rock on a hot day in 1945. I own 'em! Well, now I'm gonna be an equal partner. I'm gonna be the power behind the president - and you'll be the power behind me!Those morons out there? You know what's gonna to happen to me?Betty Lou is your public, all wrapped up with yellow ribbons into one cute little package.

More timely now, perhaps, than when it was first released in 1957, Elia Kazan's overheated political melodrama Face in the Crowd explores the dangerous manipulative power of pop culture.

Anne Francis plays Ford's especially vulnerable wife; Richard Kiley is the timid math teacher with the priceless jazz-record collection; Louis Calhern and John Hoyt are among the more cynical North Manual High veterans.

Lonesome Rhodes .

Tracy is superb, and the film is uncompromising, until studio interference takes some of the wind out of Lang's sails right at the end.

An idealist who knows how to handle himself in a dark alley, Dadier stands his ground and earns the begrudging respect of school thugs led by Vic Morrow and Sidney Poitier. They're mine! A guitar beats a woman every time. Mel Miller: The film was nominated for four Oscars. I toss them a dead fish and they'll flap their flippers.Listen, I'm not through yet. Paul Muni stars as a regular Joe, just back from World War I, who is unjustly convicted of a crime and sentenced to 10 years of bruisingly unfair treatment on a chain gang.
