Some folks watch because of the actors involved. Patricia Neal was a hot lady. If I swung that way I'd probably consider Gary Cooper hot. And Raymond Massey, no more need be said.

Trivia bit--Gary Cooper was not satisfied with Roark's speech and wished he could have had another crack at it.
My take is that he would have tried to put a little more "oomph" into it.

Hollywood has gone remake crazy and I don't really care for a lot I have seen.
But in the right hands, a remake of The Fountainhead is a great idea.
I've heard folks say they do not like to watch anything in black-and-white.

The AS people did a good job on part 1, not so good on part 2, and terrible job on part 3.

You DONT change cast in a series- rule number one.

I watch it almost every time it's on (as I did Sunday) even though I have it on DVD and VCR. (Contact Pen Ultimate Rare Books if you want a serious discount on the VCR tape.) I was astonished to hear Ben Mankiewicz (who pronounces her name correctly) liken Rand to Roark, given what I know of his disdain for her.

This is a movie that sorely needs to be redone, and because of any problems with the original.

The movie is a classic, but the popular culture does not watch classics anymore. An update would get the work back in front of people again.

Now... if we only knew a group of people that made film adaptations of Rand's works...

I am always surprised that so many Os complain about the film. Everything about it. Yesterday people were complaining about the music. I have always liked it

Good morning jbrenner.
I caught it too. Though I have it on DVD, it was the first time I could watch it in HD. I really didn't make any difference, picture wise. I would have watched it anyway... If for nothing else, just to hear Roark tell Toohey he doesn't think of him..
Regards,
O.A.

My library has the DVD, have watched it several times.
I'd like to see a rewrite with modern setting, which would be more appealing to a wider audience. The old movie is probably now only watched by those already interested in Rand.

Have it on DVD. Watched it with some friends recently. So good.

Yes.

Rand insisted during the filming of The Fountainhead that all six minutes of Roark's speech be included, unedited.

I watched it. I love his speech.

It's on Amazon Prime too.

Sorry I missed it, but I have it on VCR! Love Gary Cooper.
