The Crowd

Genre: Drama | Romance

Year Published: 1928

Description: Does man also pollute his environment by crowding? What is there about the nature of man which makes him seek out and become part of a crowd? These are some of the questions implicit in this provocative, non-narration film as the camera moves from crowds in a subway to crowds at a parade, a cattle auction, a dance hall, a cathedral, a bullfight, a race track, and at a violent riot. Finally we see a chemist observing the most basic crowd of all--a crowd of human chromosomes.
