The movie with Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal (va va voom) is very interesting too. It was released in 1949, and I think I saw it on AMC more than ten years ago. It was very intriguing to see how the movie stacked up against the book, but it did it justice in my humble estimation. It's amazing that Hollywood could make a movie about the good of capitalism and individuality with so many commies as screenwriters at that time.

It helped that Ayn Rand wrote the screenplay. I was a little disappointed with the subtle changes in the storyline, but how can you squeeze over 700 pages into a 2 hour movie? Fountainhead to me was inspirational, and the perfect medicine for a college senior preparing for her last semester!
