The Carpetbaggers
It is unlikely that you will experience in a lifetime all that you will see in... THE CARPETBAGGERS.
A sprawling 1960s melodrama following an ambitious, morally compromised tycoon's rise through Hollywood and business, driven by ambition and romantic entanglement rather than introspection.
Jonas Cord is a disagreeable young tycoon who's building planes, directing films, and catting around on the corporate make in 1930s Hollywood.
