This sweeping saga of family conflict and social awareness, directed by George Stevens and based on Edna Ferber’s bestseller, was nominated for 10 Academy Awards®, one of which Stevens won. Starring Rock Hudson as rancher Bick Benedict, Elizabeth Taylor as his wife Leslie, and James Dean (in his final film role) as newly minted oil tycoon Jett Rink, the story of three generations of Texans is both epic and “intimate as a letter from home” (Sam Lesner, Chicago Daily News).
