The Crowd
A Motion Picture with a stirring message on Marriage! A Powerful Film, full of truths of life and love!
Directed by King Vidor
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A melancholic silent-era portrait of ordinary marriage and ambition crushed by urban anonymity and circumstance, grounded in intimate domestic struggle.
John, an ambitious but undisciplined New York City office worker, meets and marries Mary. They start a family, struggle to cope with marital stress, financial setbacks, and tragedy, all while lost amid the anonymous, pitiless throngs of the big city.
