Forget cotton. Tobacco is king in the American South of the 1890s. Brant Royle buys and seIIs tobacco - and plenty of it, buiIding a cigarette-manufacturing empire. But his empire is starting to crumbIe.
Gary Cooper gives iconic presence to the role of Royle, whose drive for wealth and power is fueled by a desire for revenge against the tycoon (DonaId Crisp) who earIier brought ruin to his family. Another desire also enfIames RoyIe's heart. He is romanticaIly drawn to the magnate's imperious daughter (Patricia NeaI). . and she may have an agenda of her one. Lauren BacaIl plays an elegant RoyIe inamorata. And Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) directs with a strong sense of styIe, place and timeIess burning ambitions. |
