Info:
Power is seductive. Its price is high.
Cliff Barton has achieved everything: influence, prestige, and a brilliant career at the top of a powerful industrial corporation. But the higher he rises, the deeper he becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, moral compromise, and personal loneliness. When he meets the sensitive European Marina, a different kind of life suddenly seems possible for the first time. Torn between love and loyalty, career and conscience, Barton must decide which path to take — and what success is truly worth.
A gripping drama about ambition, responsibility, and the darker side of power.
Starring Robert Taylor in one of his most mature roles, alongside Elisabeth Müller in her rare Hollywood appearance.
