Ummm, have you actually seen the movie version of the Fountainhead? It is unwatchable. Ayn Rand wouldn't let anyone make any cuts so it's all her ideas up on the screen with no one to blame but herself for its wretchedness.
The book is awesome.

It is fair to say that both the book and the movie are a bit artless. Rand was not a good fiction writer and wooden describes much of it. It is the ideas that matter. They are the meat of the message and that comes through in the movie and the book.
