El manantial
Dean Who Expels Roark (uncredited)
Gary Cooper es un arquitecto vanguardista en desigual lucha con el mundo. Su deseo de demostrar tanto su talento como el valor del individuo frente a la masa se mezcla con una tórrida y compleja historia de amor en este atípico melodrama, ejemplarmente rodado por Vidor con toda la pasión y el pulso narrativo que le caracterizan. Impresionante banda sonora de Max Steiner y magníficas interpretaciones para una obra maestra del género, de interés especial para los amantes de la arquitectura -los proyectos de Cooper se parecen sospechosamente a los de Frank Lloyd Wright-.
