About
Director George Stevens’ sweeping saga of family con_ ict and
social consciousness based on Edna Ferber’s best seller was
nominated for 10 Academy Awards®, with a win for Stevens*.
Starring Rock Hudson as rancher Bick Benedict, Elizabeth Taylor
as his wife Leslie and James Dean (in his _ nal _ lm role) as nouveau
oil baron Jett Rink, this tale of three generations of Texans is both grand and “as intimate as a letter from home” (Sam Lesner,
Chicago Daily News).
