1949-filmatisering af Ayn Rands bog af samme navn med Gary Cooper som Howard Roark og manuskript skrevet af Ayn Rand. Hvad vil være mere passende end at bruge St. Bededag i Ayn Rands univers. Selvom Ayn Rand foragtede religion, er Howard Roark beskrevet som en religiøs figur og lader ham bygge et tempel.
Lad mig citere fra bogen: "Howard Roark built a temple to the human spirit. He saw man as strong, proud, clean, wise and fearless. He saw man as a heroic being. And he built a temple to that. A temple is a place where man is to experience exaltation. He thought that exaltation comes from the consciousness of being guiltless, of seeing the truth and achieving it, of living up to one’s highest possibility, of knowing no shame and having no cause for shame, of being able to stand naked in full sunlight. He thought that exaltation means joy and that joy is man’s birthright. He tho...ught that a place built as a setting for man is a sacred place. That is what Howard Roark thought of man and of exaltation."
