ReviewsUSA Today - ...With improved color, sound and a letterboxed image, the Texas blockbuster that won George Stevens Sr. the Oscar for direction looks better than it ever has in a home viewing format..., Rolling Stone - ...Marvel at James Dean and the still-vibrant performances of Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor....A true epic..., Los Angeles Times - ...It dazzles with late Golden Era star performances....A classic of its era..., Chicago Sun-Times - ...Dean turns in a performance that shows what a gifted and influential actor we lost with his death...
Additional InformationEdna Ferber's best-selling family saga was the source of Stevens' sprawling epic, which stars Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean, in his last film appearance. When Texas cattleman Bick Benedict (Hudson) goes to Virginia in the early 1920s to buy a prize stallion, he falls in love with Leslie Lynnton (Taylor), an aristocratic, independent-minded beauty, and they quickly marry. He takes her back to Reata, his 600,000-acre ranch, where sister Luz (Mercedes McCambridge), the family matriarch, does her best to make Leslie feel unwelcome. Leslie is appalled by the second-class status accorded to women and racist attitudes toward the local Mexicans, neither of which seem to bother her husband. Out of compassion, she befriends surly ranch hand Jett Rink (James Dean), who comes to worship her from afar, envying Bick for both his wealth and his wife. He strikes oil on land bequeathed to him by the deceased Luz and his wealth and power grow apace. As the years pass, the bewildered Bick often finds his children thwarting his wishes and criticizing his beliefs, pushing the millionaire to question his values for the first time in his life. The film's outstanding cast, which also features Dennis Hopper, Sal Mineo, Carroll Baker, Earl Holliman, and Chill Wills, inject vitality into a project that occasionally suffers from longueurs.

GIANT.....An Entertainment Great From Cinema's Golden Era.
This is one of the few films that can be brought out of the DVD cabinet time and time again. Not only the original GIANT production, but it now comes with a load of bonus features that adds a whole new dimension and greater enjoyment to the original film. A superb package of high class entertainment for everyone. Highly recommended to everyone. DAVE COXVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
