Dir King Vidor, US 1949
With Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, Raymond Massey
Scripted by Ayn Rand from her own novel, King Vidor's story of a visionary architect brought low by the cowards around him, brings Rand's Objectivist philosophy to the big screen, right down to one of the longest single speeches in Hollywood history. Classic post-war bombast, an explication of an outdated philosophy, or an unlikely defence of the spirit of modernist architecture?
