Sinopsis

Adaptación de una novela de Cameron Hawley (""La torre de los ambiciosos""), en la que se plantea el conflicto de un ambicioso empresario que debe elegir entre sus intereses finacieros y sus intereses sentimentales. La apagada realización impide que aflore convenientemente la vena melodramática subyacente en la historia, limitándose a una fría ilustración de un guión no demasiado brillante.
