A Face in the Crowd (1957) - "Dark Night of the Soul" scene Video

A radio / TV host drunk with power aspires to sway and control the masses for a Senator running for the President of the US. His long time producer / girl friend finally sees the problem with the personality she has created. Written 52 years ago by Budd Schulberg as a cautionary tale about the abuse of power available via radio and television. Prophetic.
