-
Vidor, playing to that crowd, sternly warns against going it alone.

The Crowd is a masterpiece - moving, funny, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful. It's a must for anyone interested in the roots of moviemaking, and it's a good choice to show to someone who thinks they wouldn't like silent films.
September 11, 2013 | Full Review… -
The camera style owes something to Murnau, but the sense of space -- the vast environments that define and attack his protagonists -- is Vidor's own.
February 26, 2013 | Full Review… -
A drab actionless story of ungodly length and apparently telling nothing.
July 7, 2008 | Full Review… -
Plot in The Crowd is structured as the progression of a life, with all the undulations of ups and downs driven by the director's faith in human emotion.
February 25, 2007 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
Throughout this subject Mr. Vidor shrewdly avoids the stereotyped conception of setting forth scenes, and in more than one case he uses his camera in an inspired fashion.
