Full Plot Details

Upon the death of his father in 1928, Jonas Cord Jr., who has thus far led a wild life, assumes control of the Cord business empire centered on a Nevada chemical company, that control despite the animosity that existed between father and son about business issues. With the exception of a few trusted people including his best friend, aging cowboy Nevada Smith, business manager "Mac" McAllister, and longtime butler Jedidiah, Jonas in turn trusts no one in his effort to take complete control of the business and his life, buying out other "friends", business associates and adversaries in his "I know best" attitude. In the process, he begins to diversify his business interests into areas which he either has an interest and/or believes will be industries of the immediate future, including aviation and the movie industry. The poor way he treats people extends to his personal life, including the many women closest to him, such as his stepmother, Rina Marlowe, who was his girlfriend before she married his father, and who would become his wife, Monica Winthrop, the daughter of a business associate. The question becomes if this life is sustainable for him, especially as people try to usurp him, and those he trusts may no longer be able to tolerate his behavior, which he may not be able to let go of in much of it stemming from issues ingrained into him when he was a child.

Movie Reviews

Fantastica Daily - 8/10 by Chuck O'LearyOne of the all-time great potboilers featuring a powerhouse performance by the always underrated George Peppard.
The Spectator - 7/10 by Isabel QuiglyThe Carpetbaggers has the outsize awfulness of Holly- wood at its worst, multiplied by a large cast and much supposedly shocking action that clearly comes from the much more outspoken novel.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe sleazy pulp film was a blockbuster smash hit upon its release, proving to Hollywood that bad taste pays big dividends.
User Review - 10/10 by David FI absolutely love this film for it's unadulterated trashiness! Gripped from beginning to end. I've never enjoyed the films of these types of books before, but this one wins through.
User Review - 10/10 by Melissa L"what do you want to see on your honeymoon?" "lots of lovely celings"

User Review - 8/10 by Private UI was quite surprised by this film. This one got down and dirty!
User Review - 8/10 by Josh PGeorge Peppard is so Handsome and good in this film whice is loosely based on howard hughs life
User Review - 6/10 by Richard SA wonderful trashy classic from the book of Harold Robbins.
User Review - 6/10 by Marilee ASomewhere between a 5/10 and 6/10, this lusty, gusty, vulgar, sleazy, glitzy, trashy Hollywood potboiler exemplifies why everyone goes to the movies for all the wrong reasons.
