Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyKing Vidor's melodrama about individualism and creativity works better as cinema than as literature (it's based on Rand's novel).
Kalamazoo Gazette - 8/10 by James SanfordIt remains one of the strangest and most florid pictures of its time, possibly of all time. It's also immensely enjoyable and startlingly steamy... a stylish, fascinating curio.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's the kind of dazzling film, shot in a fascinating German Expressionist style, that veers from being silly to being provocative.
Nick's Flick Picks - 7/10 by Nick DavisThe Fountainhead is by turns exciting, handsome, astoundingly awkward, fully committed, untowardly relentless, very strange, and a little creepy in its compulsive watchability.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrea HMovie magnificent! Ð?bout an incredibly strong man! One of the best roles of Gary Cooper!
User Review - 10/10 by Helena TSurprisingly brilliant and reasonably faithful adaption of Ayn Rand's book. The message is clear and is one that is sorely needed in this day and age.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric SShould be required viewing for college seniors, and anyone with a desire to be independently successful.
User Review - 10/10 by Gel. LIndividulist Man of Integrity stands up to the Collective Powerful Media of the day.
User Review - 10/10 by Colvin ROne of the most thought-provoking movies I've ever seen. Probably wouldn't be made like this now-a-days - big production ethics, and all. Is still a great, albeit outdated, moral tale of integrity over ambition.
User Review - 10/10 by Jessi La good movie in every way (except fidelity to the book)
