The Crowd was one of the most daring, groundbreaking films made in Hollywood in the 1920s--or ever, possibly. Directed by one of the great filmmakers of the era, King Vidor, The Crowd stars James Murray as John Sims, a young man blissfully confident that he'll be a great success when he comes to the big city. The only problem is that he thinks he'll succeed by thinking up corny advertising slogans or finding some big idea rather than actually working hard or applying himself. Eleanor Boardman plays his loving, supportive wife Mary.
