Movie Haiku:Adaptation of Ayn Rand's "objectivist" novel about an architect (Cooper) who refuses to alter his modernist designs or compromise his libertarian principles. Altho we abhor the philosophical implications, we can't deny the power of the argument as presented here. Coop is stern & magnificent. Of course Patricia Neal is swooning.
