19. I've always rather liked the film...

...yes, of course it's crap on one level. Pulp melodrama. But it's fascinating pulp melodrama, utterly unreal in its issues but it does have its own atmosphere and point-of-view...even if it's one that I despise. Cooper gives Adam Roarke that God-like authority he could convey. And that final shot of him on top of his skyscraper in the clouds--maybe the greatest camp moment in the history of films. It's not like any other movie--and thank God for that!--but I'm rather glad it exists...
