- Vitajex commercial beautiful sequence from "A Face in the Crowd" by Elia Kazan.
A Face in the Crowd is a 1957 film starring Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau, directed by Elia Kazan. The screenplay was written by Budd Schulberg, based on his short story "Your Arkansas Traveler".
Andy Griffith should've won an Oscar for this performance.
Elia Kazan should have been awarded an Oscar as well. EK was caught up in the "Red" Scare during the era.
The greatest piece of social commentary and prophecy ever put on the screen.
Watched this movie last night and wow, I was blown away. Andy Griffith could act!!! The whole Vitajex montage was surreal as well.
Pat Mccurry You should now watch "Meet John Doe" a movie made just a sixteen years or so earlier, with radio and newspaper as the media. Same basic story; average Joe plucked from obscurity by an ambitious woman with access to mass media, but the nature of the hero "John Doe" differs from Lonesome in a crucial way. Both are very entertaining well crafted movies with talent all around. Have fun watching, comparing and contrasting.
The Vitajex sequence was a good decade ahead of its time, with its use of mixed media, quick cuts, and cynicism.
@@Krose333 So true. With "Doe", you had radio and newspapers, not TV. You also had the hero who just wanted to play baseball for the love for it and not be famous.
@@dudleymorris2337 I am sure the Coen brothers watched this sequence a few hundred times.
During the ending scene, where Lonesome is, well, finally alone, Andy Griffith was drinking real booze and he was Drunk. The producers did a Take Two, in which it was said he played a drunk when he was sober better than drunk.
This is actually a pretty strange scene for a 1950s movie, way ahead of its time!
A fucking classic of American cinema. Any discussion that does not mention this masterpiece or The General in the first 30 seconds is a waste of time.
It was the same bullshit even then, The quiz show scandal would happen two years later, So much for for 'nostalgia'.
The Vitajex commercials are 100% accurate. Vitajex does everything that these commericals say it does.
The look on his face before the woman's hand feeds him the pill cracks me up every time.
That grunting from the audience when the graph goes up! I'm dying over here. This is so great. Love this movie. I have seen it probably 5 times.
20 years before Network.
Nice catch.
@randywhite3947 "Fewer" than 20 years, if you really want to get pedantic.
Love this rocking - and, rather risqué - sequence. It’s ahead of its time.
My wife howled with laughter when the woman in bed showed her multi-year supply of Vitajex!!
Vitajex was the late 1950's version of Viagra!!
Falling in love with this film just from the shorts.
This movie is absolutely insane 👍
Vitajex was Viagra, 40 years earlier!
I gained a new respect for Andy Griffith as an actor when I saw this the first time.
The film has Elia Kazan written all over it!
❤❤❤--> prediction of every pharma commercial
Unrated exceptional movie
That's as freaky as anything made during the 60's or 70's. Both campy and absurd. Griffith didn't play the bad guy too often, but he could do it so well. Had that country good old boy charm, but also could turn sinister, if necessary. Reminds me of Henry Fonda in Leone's "Once Upon A Time In The West", when he played the role of Frank, the merciless outlaw who gets taken down by Charles Bronson. Another movie classic...
"Keep your loving brother happy."
Anyone else find the tune catchy?
It’s the same melody as the already-popular real song “Kokomo”.
@hebneh,No,it is not the same song. You must be tone deaf. Do you also think a 1957 Plymouth looks like a 1957 Chevy?
Of course - that's the point.
What a catchy jingle.
Now... the hard sell.
Pill popping - an American tradition.
Beautiful? No. Ghastly, menacing and prophetic? YES.
Those ladies' costumes leave little to the imagination! I love the scene when he doesn't know the mike is still on.
Elia Kana was a great director of film making. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
You'll never convince me this isn't a veiled advertisement for Speed.
Viagra, actually.
Oh My God!!!!!!
Funniest thing I have seen in FOREVER!!
The Vitajex pigs on the beach segment appear as the later animation style of Famous Studios.
It's pretty standard of the 1950's.
Is it me or would Andy griffin make great Joker
Viagra should use this ad.
a classic that hates new stuff like elvis, television, and elvis on television.
goof kat Holy shit, that's a great description!
“A face in the crowd” has nothing to do with Elvis. Budd Schulberg wrote the story in the early 1950’s and has gone on record as saying Lonesome was loosely based on Will Rogers.
The movie was made in 1957 and rock n roll was the trend at that time.
Your welcome 0:18 0:53 1:25 2:03 2:07 2:13
Viagra in the 50's
Andy Griffith As The Villain, Who Would've Thought It!?! Check Him Out In, 'Pray For The Wildcats' If You Get A Chance. Thank You. (Like #346 - Comment #74)
The soft sell part is too much
This movie really redpills.
More like viagra!
Ppl say it was like Viagra, but meth was legal back then...
Vitajex was a parody of pep pills sold back then. It had nothing to do with sex.
His Vitajax was actually Jack Daniels in this movie…
This is such a sad spectacle.
Sad, because it predicted how Americans would be so easily led like sheep to create US consumerism.
Just ask Oprah "Lonesome" Winfrey.
Did women really used to say "oompf oompf oompf" while having sex back then?
Of course not. That's just something tame for the sake of marketing.
Well ones things for sure,people “didn’t used to” ask such moronic questions back then.
If that not Bill Clinton
Vitajex: 1957 Viagra 😊
