Comments: "Sometimes any man can be a giant"...This sprawling epic set among the Texas oil fields is chiefly remembered today as the last film of iconic actor James Dean. In fact, filming had just wrapped when Dean was killed in a tragic auto accident, on his way to a race. As Jett Rink, Dean is a ranch hand who strikes it rich when a well on his small plot of land comes in big, much to the chagrin of old-money couple Bick and Leslie Benedict (Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor). An epic tale, the film was nominated for ten Oscars, and won for Best Director (George Stevens).
