Review of The Fountainhead (1949) by Ashley H — 04 Jul 2007
Fades and splitscreens are clumsily done, but most other aspects of this film aren't too distracting. In producing the book and screenplay, Ayn Rand wound up laying the foundation for Objectivism, viewpoint that occupied most of the rest of her life.
Patricia Neal improved markedly as the shooting progressed. Gary Cooper shines as the embattled hero. And Raymond Massey gives the performance of a lifetime as a divided man. A good movie.
