Everything we have, every great achievement has come from the independent work of some independent mind. Every horror and destruction came from attempts to force men into a herd of brainless, soulless robots without personal rights, without personal ambition, without will, hope, or dignity. It is an ancient conflict. It has another name: the individual against the collective.
-- Howard Roark

(1949)
(1949)Gary Cooper acted as Howard Roark
The screenplay for The Fountainhead was written by Ayn Rand based on her best-selling novel of the same name. She would not allow any changes to her screenplay. This is the only time that Hollywood ever made a film without a single revision of the screenwriter's work.
