Harold Robbins' tale of the ruthless men and beautiful women who shaped Hollywood. Harold Robbins' best seller about '30s Hollywood comes to the screen in a torrent of frank, controversial and (for the times) sensational scenes that helped break the Production Code. George Peppard is the ruthless tycoon who (with amazing parallels to Howard Hughes) builds a multi-million-dollar empire. Carroll Baker, who performs a razzle-dazzle striptease atop a glittering chandelier, is the Jean Harlow-type star. In addition to its depiction of the wild life in Tinseltown's early days, the film also boasts Alan Ladd's terrific final screen performance as the hero's sidekick, Nevada Smith.

The Carpetbaggers Film Synopsis

When playboy Jonas inherits his father's industrial empire, he expands it by acquiring an aircraft factory and movie studio. His rise to power is ruthless. He marries and then quickly abandons sweet, bubbly Monica, turns his young, attractive stepmother Rina into a self-destructive actress and manages to disappoint even his closest friend, cowboy movie star Nevada. Is Jonas beyond redemption?

Italiano
Il film è ispirato abbastanza chiaramente al bizzarro milionario Howard Hughes. Un uomo ha successo nell'industria aviatoria e cinematografica, ma procura l'infelicità delle sue donne finché un suo vecchio amico non lo prende a cazzotti e gli toglie dalla testa l'idea di essere pazzo come il fratello gemello.

Français
À la mort de Jonas Cord Sénior en 1925, le séduisant Jonas Junior prend le contrôle de l'entreprise familiale Cord Chemical Factory. Aussitôt, il rachète les parts de sa belle-mère, la veuve Rina Marlowe Cord (une ex qui a épousé Jonas Sénior pour sa fortune) ainsi que celles de Nevada Smith, un vacher qui a été comme un père pour lui dans son enfance. Ce n'est que le début de la vertigineuse ascension de Jonas Junior qui, s'entourant des meilleurs conseillers et avocats, construit un empire financier en investissant dans les industries du plastique et de l'aéronautique. Par intérêt, il épouse l'héritière Monica Winthrop qu'il néglige ensuite après avoir ruiné le père. Avec l'avènement du cinéma parlant, Jonas se fait producteur et réalisateur et promeut les carrières de Nevada et Rina devenus stars de cinéma. Mais Rina, alcoolique, se tue en voiture et Jonas, pour rentabiliser ses studios après la disparition de sa grande vedette maison, la remplace par un sosie, Jennie Denton...
