So no mention of The Fountainhead (film)

with Patricia Neal and Gary Cooper in the lead roles? I doubt this thing compares well with it. 98.4.124.117 (talk) 10:50, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The play is adapted directly from the novel, so there is no obvious reason to mention the film unless some source draws a comparison. --RL0919 (talk) 11:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Directly from the novel in contrast to what? You're aware of Rand's approval of the film? 98.4.124.117 (talk) 12:02, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Watching: in contrast to "based on this film", - then it should be mentioned. The film is mentioned in The Fountainhead, even in the introduction. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:11, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, the notion of the play being derived from the movie, didn't occur to me. 98.4.124.117 (talk) 12:20, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
