George Peppard plays a hard-driven industrialist more than a little reminiscent of Howard Hughes.
While he builds airplanes, directs movies and breaks hearts, his friends and lovers try to reach his human side, and find that it's an uphill battle.
The film's title is a metaphor for self-promoting tycoons who perform quick financial takeovers, impose dictatorial controls for short-term profits, then move on to greener pastures.
The Carpetbaggers is the kind of trashy classic most people were too embarrassed to admit they enjoyed back in the early 60s.
But this Harold Robbins adaptation is so cheerfully vulgar, it's hard not to have a good time - especially given the thinly veiled portrait of Howard Hughes at its center. George Peppard plays the heel-hero, who founds an airline company in the 1920s and buys a movie studio in the 1930s, crushing friends and mistresses along the way.
The high cheese factor is aided by the good-time cast: Carroll Baker as Peppard's hot stepmom, Bob Cummings (quite funny) as a cynical agent, and Elizabeth Ashley, who married Peppard, in her debut -uncharacteristically, as a good girl.
One sad note is Alan Ladd, looking and sounding very end-of-the-line in his final role, as a man's man cowboy star.
Elmer Bernstein's swaggering score helps goose the action along.
各方面都很肥皂剧水平——stuffy棚拍、浮夸运镜和演技、各种狗血小反转、角色说上句你就能接下句的老土台词——但还是很好看,比The Aviator那样过于把自己当回事的正统传记片好看太多了。这种人物写得最好的还是The Bad and the Beautiful。找前妻复合的结尾太ooc不计入全片质量评价。花絮挺有趣,话说这片的尺度即使今天看也不该只是PG啊。这是目前看过的Carroll Bak...各方面都很肥皂剧水平——stuffy棚拍、浮夸运镜和演技、各种狗血小反转、角色说上句你就能接下句的老土台词——但还是很好看,比The Aviator那样过于把自己当回事的正统传记片好看太多了。这种人物写得最好的还是The Bad and the Beautiful。找前妻复合的结尾太ooc不计入全片质量评价。花絮挺有趣,话说这片的尺度即使今天看也不该只是PG啊。这是目前看过的Carroll Baker的最好角色,虽然已经为她看过几部难看得要死的铅黄片但直到这部才有真正爱上她的感觉。(展开)

与其说是影射霍华德休斯(显著的飞机元素),不如说是再现或虚构好莱坞大亨的隐秘传奇,是商业奇才,更是情感恶魔。本片乃乔治·佩帕德从影的最佳,比起大名鼎鼎的《蒂凡尼的早餐》,身为绿叶的存在为了衬托奥黛丽赫本的光彩。而本片,无论形象还是表演都是瞩目的焦点,他对人越是冷酷刻薄狂傲,越是散发迷人魅力。可惜结局回归好莱坞式大团圆,俗了。另,片中的夫妻戏外弄假成真,然而最终分道扬镳,这才是现实。
