Plot

An architect refuses to compromise.

Sinekatalog’s take

King Vidor's adaptation of Ayn Rand is overheated and melodramatic. Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal burn up the screen, and the stylised direction is wildly over the top, but it is a striking, camp curiosity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
