The Fountainhead
"Do you want to stand alone against the whole world?" Architect
Howard Roark has heard the voices of safety, convention,
compromise. But Roark is a man as unyielding as the mighty
structures he builds. And he will sacrifice everything - the
woman he loves or the project he dynamites when others interfere
with his design - to maintain his individuality in a world of
lockstep conformity.
Gary Cooper portrays Roark and Patricia Neal plays the troubled
beauty whose desire for him almosts destroys her in this
emotionally and intellectually searing film script by Ayn Rand
from her own novel. From a granite quarry to Manhattan skyscrapers
to a thrilling courtroom finale with his freedom on
the line, Roark does stand alone against the whole world. And
that is his most towering achievement.
