Even the films like Being There or Network, or films with the insane characters who become super popular in the American public eye. Or Face in the Crowd, like, that’s happening right now in your politics. Right now. Life goes beyond often in terms of ridiculous situations coming through.

Dylan's passion for film continued in New York, often at the Waverly Theater on Sixth Avenue, minutes from his pad. Two films impressed him during the year, he told me. Lonely Are the Brave starred Kirk Douglas as an individualist in a modern West that was being eroded by supermarkets and superhighways. The hero failed, pursuing ideals, being blotted out by "progress". The other film was A Face in the Crowd, from a Budd Schulberg story. It starred Andy Griffith as a guitar-picking "country boy" who became a celebrity, affecting advertising, TV, and, ultimately, national politics.
