影片从1959年十月开始，根据突发新闻，好莱坞影星弗林（凯文·克莱恩饰）刚刚去世。他死在爱人——一位17岁的影坛新星贝弗莉（达科塔·范宁饰）的怀里。更让人惊讶的是，贝弗莉的母亲弗洛伦斯（苏珊·萨兰登饰）不仅清楚，并且允许了这段已经持续两年的恋情。影片随后通过弗洛伦斯的回忆，以及对记者的口述，重现了这段故事。

　　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.
