On the heels of his massively successful The Big Parade (1925), director King Vidor delivered another masterpiece with The Crowd, an effortlessly relatable treatise on the human condition that is every bit as soul-stirring today as it was when it first arrived nearly a century ago.

Setting virtual unknown James Murray as born-on-the-fourth-of-July American everyman Johnny Sims and the illuminating Eleanor Boardman as Mary, Vidor explores the contradictions of being alive, balancing the existential dread of becoming an insignificant cog in an oppressive system with the sublime beauty of simply maintaining one’s soul in the face of eternal struggle and impossible loss. Simultaneously staggering and intimate, The Crowd offers a timeless cinematic parable.

The Crowd comes to home entertainment for the first time in a brand-new restoration from Blackhawk Films, made possible through the generous support of the Sunrise Foundation for Education & the Arts. Featuring three musical scores: a rousing original piano composition by Antonio Coppola, a momentous orchestral score by Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, and a fascinatingly modern xylophone accompaniment by Illya Amar.
