The Fountainhead - Enright Building Party

The party held after the completion of the Enright Building, featuring Dominique Francon played by Patricia Neal from the movie The Fountainhead.

Dominique's utter shock down to her shoes when she realizes who Roark actually is is fantastic; which, of course, is precisely what Roark wanted. Knowing that she would be present that evening is the only reason he attended.

"I play the stock market of the spirit. And I sell short."

Awesome line. I pop for it every time.

Whoever did the set/production design for this move did an amazing job. They could’ve made it as an actual architect. Roark’s building still looks like it could be cutting-edge modern architecture in 2024.

2:46 - "There's Dominique Francon!"
(smiles) "Yeah... I _plowed_ her." 🤣

Ellsworth Toohey is the ultimate villain. He's not just evil; he UNDERSTANDS evil, and everything about it.

[manuelgonzales]

I marvel at the scene where Dominique Francon descends down those sumptuous stairway, the interiors is as seductive as Patricia Neal herself and then Gary Cooper's statuesque elegance like his architecture.... absolutely classic!

I love the Fountainhead. It's so great.

[liztan]

I would truly appreciate it very much if someone out there could upload this American Classic film so that more people from all over the world could appreciate this....

Howard Roark could be Dominique's father in this movie lol. The book had a young howard roark

[schwarzernerz]

One of the Greatest Movie ever made. A Masterpiece.

[OliverBeatson]

Wow, what a stunning actor Patricia Neal is.

[Casio]

Best thing abut this film is Max Steiner's score - genius.

[johngalt]

The highest tribute to Ayn Rand, is that her critics must distort
everything she stood for in order to attack her. She advocated reason,
not force; the individual’s rights to freedom of action, speech, and
association; self-responsibility, NOT self-indulgence; and a
live-and-let-live society in which each individual is treated as an
END, not the MEANS of others’ ends. How many critics would dare
honestly state these ideas and say, ” . . .and that’s what I reject”?

[prohacvice]

I hope they try to make a new version of this movie. Though this time, with people who can truly immerse themselves in the characters.

[policemanaaron]

The passion in this scene fairly explodes from the pages when reading the book.

[lapredo]

As a classic movie enthusiast, Gary Cooper's "The Fountainhead" from 1949 is by far one of the finest classic movies besides Joan Crawford in "Mildred Pierce" from 1945.

I love the look Dominique casts at Toohey at 1:05.

She doesn't even need to hear the rest of his establishing character moment, she just gives him the pitying/contemptuous up-and-down look to confirm the jealousy, mediocrity and unjustified self-importance she detected from his first sentence and dismisses him from her world.

[albionicamerican]

Talk about double entendre: "I wish I had never seen your building."

[theloniousMac]

Extraordinary work, extraordinary story.

[victoriajarvis]

It must have been fun for Patricia to have Gary as her "adversary".
