George Peard lays a hard-driven industrialist more than a little reminiscent of Howard Hughes.br\ While he builds airlanes, directs movies and breaks hearts, his friends and lovers try to reach his human side, and find that it#39;s an uhill battle.br\ The film#39;s title is a metahor for self-romoting tycoons who erform quick financial takeovers, imose dictatorial controls for short-term rofits, then move on to greener astures.br\ The Caretbaggers is the kind of trashy classic most eole were too embarrassed to admit they enjoyed back in the early 60s.br\ But this Harold Robbins adatation is so cheerfully vulgar, it#39;s hard not to have a good time - esecially given the thinly veiled ortrait of Howard Hughes at its center. George Peard lays the heel-hero, who founds an airline comany in the 1920s and buys a movie studio in the 1930s, crushing friends and mistresses along the way.br\ The high cheese factor is aided by the good-time cast: Carroll Baker as Peard#39;s hot stemom, Bob Cummings (quite funny) as a cynical agent, and Elizabeth Ashley, who married Peard, in her debut -uncharacteristically, as a good girl.br\ One sad note is Alan Ladd, looking and sounding very end-of-the-line in his final role, as a man#39;s man cowboy star.br\ Elmer Bernstein#39;s swaggering score hels goose the action along.
