If you like Ayn Rand, read Fountainhead again, then see the movie.
I'm an Ayn Rand fan, and have read everything she wrote. I didn't know if a two hour film could capture the huge novel Fountainhead. I now realize that it would only work with Ayn herself writing the screenplay, Gary Cooper starring, and filmed in black and white. The effects may be dated when compared to today's computer-generated marvels, but they're quite well done. It's important to remember the era in which the novel was set, and that was two decades before the film's release.

Impressive, unforgettable movie with Gary Cooper
I saw this movie ,with the great Gary Cooper, 40 years ago. I had read the book by Ayn Rand. It shows a perfect man, the Architect Howard Roark. Nothing can "buy" him, nobody can corrupt him. He loses everythng but remains faithful to his creative ideas. At the end he wins against all troubles, and his wonderful designs are accepted. Howard Roark is the " Impossible dream " of every man . An Ideal of perfection, will power, geniality that we wish, but we cannot reach in normal life. You MUST see thos movie, you'll never forget it

An outstanding achievement, this is a classic act!
I saw parts of this movie as a kid growing up and had wanted to see the whole movie, but never had the chance-I didn't know the title because I never saw the beginning- though it made an impression, for sure. Howard Roark's speech near the end of the movie is unforgettable! This is a movie that was made at least half a century ahead of its time. It should make little difference whether or not you happen to be an ardent follower Ann Rand's philosophy "Objectivism" which is threaded throughout the theme of the movie; anybody can appreciate those rare qualities as displayed by the character of Howard Roark, uncompromising integrity, independent spirit, and dogged iron will determination to succeed against seemingly hopeless and unyielding odds, defending himself against a thoroughly corrupt system that is determined to make him concede his ideas to their will, or utterly destroy him. I have read the book as well. Although the movie does not follow the book in great detail-if it did I imagine it would've needed to be at least a 10 hour mini series; I do not believe the underlying theme was in any way corrupted. Rather, I think Rand did a great job of distilling the core elements of the story line down into a script to suit both the producers and their budgets, as well as movie goers, tastes and patience. I believe most readers of Rand's book will be able appreciate the movie as a compliment to the original idea or vice versa. To have been able to write such a movie script as Rand did that accomplished all of those aims without compromising the basic integrity of the original plot extolled in the book, The Fountainhead, is a testament to the genius of an author/philosopher whose ideas have made an indelible mark upon the ethos of much of the Free World. After finally seeing the movie on DVD, I definitely appreciated it this time all the more as an adult. This movie is a real classic that I don't think you could ever get tired of watching over again.Read full review

Surreal, Larger than life, old Hollywood Gem.
WOW the first thing that grabbed me about the movie is the music!! If you like full orchestra sound with astounding emotion, this is the movie to have in your collection. Yeah, I know buying a movie for the music sounds wrong but I think if you like something, get it. I believe this movie is based on the life of Frank LLoyd Right "the Architect", so the innovative thinking of this genuis, and the fight of the 'not well known' against the old traditional architecture and the conformist mentality is brought to life (in a big way) on the screen. Also the side story of boy and girl, their attraction, and each of the main characters desires and acomplishments and some over the top controll issues with Patricia Neal's character; she meets her match in Gary Cooper's character. It is right to mention in this story there are other relationships with some twists that happen before the main characters get together. This is a classic, and I think you'll enjoy it; and again the music is so moving and wonderful. Great Movie!! Stan H.Read full review

Awful!
Ayn Rand when writing this screenplay was so overly concerned about getting the theme of individualism across that she forgot to actually make this a good movie. I was shocked how inconsistent the movie was with the book. Roark is supposed to not care about anything and half the movie he has an awful worried look. There is no mention ever of the Cosmo-Slotnick building or of Madnodnack (spelling?) Valley. We never even meet Catherine Heasly. A lot of the movie is out of order. The acting was very poor. Very poor actor choices. The only person that I felt was correctly portrayed was Gail Wynand. This movie was filmed in 59 days and it certainly shows. Bottom line is if you're planning on seeing this movie, I hope you've never read the book. You'll be incredibly dissapointed.Read full review
