Based on the best-seller book of the same name by Ayn Rand, it stars Gary Cooper as an idealistic architect who battles corrupt business interests and his love for a married woman (Patricia Neal). There is plenty of “chewing the scenery”, ridiculous architectural renderings and “interesting” shots in this film (especially at the end). If you love drama and the uncompromising spirit of the individual, then this film is for you.
