Product Information

Edna 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.

  • Great Movie; Great actor Interviews; Great Quality of Discs and Packaging.

    One of the great movie classics of all time. Second disc of supplemental material adds a lot of new information and interviews with actors not available elsewhere. Package arrived promptly and was as advertized.

  • Very family type in an upper class ranch life style.

    I saw this movie before and enjoyed it then. I wanted to watch this again because I wanted to watch James Dean acting, I understand that he was an excellent actor, however, just completed only three movies.

  • Interesting Presentation

    I’m giving this 4 stars only because the important discs (the movie) are poorly What is truly interesting is all the backstory about the making of the epic and the young stars who made it the epic it is

  • A wonderful classic

    This is one of the classic movies. It is so well made and has a great storyline. The second disk alone is worth the money. It shows the making of Giant and so many behind the scenes. Very enjoyable!

  • Not what I expected.

    This DVD from the 1956 movie is not designed to be watched on a big screen TV. The sound is very poor as well. Had I known this I would not have purchased this DVD.
