4:15 AM Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House ('48)

Portrayed as “an architect of genius in a world of spineless mediocrity,” idealist Howard Roark (Gary Cooper) takes on the architectural establishment in The Fountainhead (8:00 PM). Based loosely on Frank Lloyd Wright, Ayn Rand’s best-selling novel-turned-film chronicles the struggles of the lone champion of modern architecture in pre-war Manhattan.
