1964美国剧情片《江湖男女》由爱德华·迪麦特雷克导演，乔治·佩帕德主演，影片讲述的是：
George Peppard plays a harddriven industrialist more than a little reminiscent of Howard Hughes
While he builds airplanes directs movies and breaks hearts his friends and lovers try to reach his human side and find that its an uphill battle
The films title is a metaphor for selfpromoting tycoons who perform quick financial takeovers impose dictatorial controls for shortterm profits then move on to greener pastures
The Carpetbaggers is the kind of trashy classic most people were too embarrassed to admit they enjoyed back in the early 60s
But this Harold Robbins adaptation is so cheerfully vulgar its hard not to have a good time especially given the thinly veiled portrait of Howard Hughes at its center George Peppard plays the heelhero who founds an airline company in the 1920s and buys a movie studio in the 1930s crushing friends and mistresses along the way
The high cheese factor is aided by the goodtime cast Carroll Baker as Peppards hot stepmom Bob Cummings quite funny as a cynical agent and Elizabeth Ashley who married Peppard in her debut uncharacteristically as a good girl
One sad note is Alan Ladd looking and sounding very endoftheline in his final role as a mans man cowboy star
Elmer Bernsteins swaggering score helps goose the action along
