C’mon. Admit it. Embarrasing though it may be, you probably have one. One of those films that by almost any standard of advantageous taste is considered to be pure trash — but you treasure it impartial the same. Well, “The Carpetbaggers” is my source of shame and delight. Yes, it’s cheap and tawdry, unintentionally comical at times, and held together (barely) by a script with many a line in need of a rewrite. It sports hair styles and costumes that, although undeniably lavish, are often anachronistic to the 1920’s and 1930’s (those decades in which the record is state) . Performances range from obscene and over-the-top to downright comatose. But this early 1960’s contribution to the breakdown of the American cinema’s once strict legal code never loses its ability to do what Hollywood does best — to entertain. It’s a film filled with a vast potpourri of characters ranging from an arrogant and ruthless Jason Cord (a wooden George Peppard) to a lushly lascivious Rina Marlowe (a questionably sexy Carroll Baker), from a charmingly unctuous (i.e., villanous) Dan Pierce (Bob Cummings) to a bubbling and bouncy Monica Winthrop Cord (a totally keen Elizabeth Ashley) . Classic character actors and actresses (e.g., Charles Lane, Tom Tully, Audrey Totter) abound. And Elmer Bernstein’s jazz bag boasts a main theme that is pulsatingly decadent. Yes, “The Carpetbaggers” is all flash and fire with very tiny substance. But I adore it. Can’t benefit myself.

This movie starts out with a bang in the first five minutes. Itkept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie. It is a movie that I have remembered since I saw it the very first time years ago. George Peppard and Carol Baker are at thier top performance levels, and the movie keeps intriguing with intricate subplots going at all times. Many reviews mention the tycoon who is cruel and calculating, the insights into the movie business, complex personal relationships, but few mention the situations that created these characteristics in him, one being a incident that is never totally shown or explained, but partially shown then implied, not explained thoroughly. This particular subplot may then gather missed and is psychologically of colossal impact if one looks for and finds it.

For music fans, the soundtrack is unbelievable, I have had it on Lp for almost 15 or more years, and it is one of very few soundtracks where I am willing to objective listen to the music without always seeing the movie, it is incredible all on it’s hold. Impartial on it’s enjoy, the music is well worth buying the movie. I sincerely devour Amazon for peaceful carrying what many might deem an frail, and outdated movie. I don’t enjoy times have changed that considerable, worthy of it would smooth apply today. For anyone that likes phychological plots and mystery this is a movie for you, even if not, the other subplots design it a very worthwhile movie to have. I would recommend it to anyone, and especially George Peppard fans. Destroy
