George Peppard plays a hard-driven 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 it's an uphill battle.
The film's title is a metaphor for self-promoting tycoons who perform quick financial takeovers, impose dictatorial controls for short-term 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, it's hard not to have a good time - especially given the thinly veiled portrait of Howard Hughes at its center. George Peppard plays the heel-hero, 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 good-time cast: Carroll Baker as Peppard's 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 end-of-the-line in his final role, as a man's man cowboy star.
Elmer Bernstein's swaggering score helps goose the action along.

3、《江湖男女》评价怎么样？
现实与理想在中年危机时越来越像个伪命题，电影还在给我们这些老男孩一丝丝精神上的慰藉。幸好，它不是鸡汤，它还算热血。
年轻时辉煌过、荒唐过，为目标热血喷张过。但在一个个不起眼的岁月弯道上，却渐渐偏离了预想的跑道。周遭事物以莫名而荒唐的方式变了模样。渐渐地，在不由自主的无力中选择融入，在不清不楚的遗憾中选择认可。
角色往往都在看向身边人看不到的地方而显得和旁人格格不入，而这也往往是角色人生悲剧的根源。这些不被定义的主角们，又守着一条常人难以理解的底线，也就是这条底线，让角色有了真实性，更加贴近观众。
