Amazon.com essential video:
They call it Giant because everything in this picture is big, from the generous running time (more than 200 minutes) to the sprawling ranch location (a horizon-to-horizon plain with a lonely, modest mansion dropped in the middle) to the high-powered stars. Stocky Rock Hudson stars as the confident, stubborn young ranch baron Bick Benedict, who woos and wins the hand of Southern belle Elizabeth Taylor, a seemingly demure young beauty who proves to be Hudson's match after she settles into the family homestead. For many the film is chiefly remembered for James Dean's final performance, as poor former ranch hand Jett Rink, who strikes oil and transforms himself into a flamboyant millionaire playboy. Director George Stevens won his second Oscar for this ambitious, grandly realized (if sometimes slow moving) epic of the changing socioeconomic (and physical) landscape of modern Texas, based on Edna Ferber's bestselling novel. The talented supporting cast includes Mercedes McCambridge as Bick's frustrated sister, put out by the new "woman of the house"; Chill Wills as the Benedicts' garrulous rancher neighbor; Carroll Baker and Dennis Hopper as the Benedicts' rebellious children; and Earl Holliman and Sal Mineo as dedicated ranch hands. --Sean Axmaker

well. Another reviewer theorized that the DVD was made from a 3rd or 4th generation copy. About that I don't
know but the result is that some of the imagery is not as good as it should be. (Example : In the opening

In GIANT, the last entry of James Dean's motion picture trilogy, he portrays Jeff Rink, an oil rig worker who acquires a piece of land, sets out on his own, strikes oil and eventually becomes a petroleum multi-millionaire. On the night of the triumphant opening of his magnificent airport/hotel complex some years later, Rink boozes himself into oblivion and shocks the attending crowd with an incoherent podium speech. (Note: Dean's inebriated ramblings were dubbed by Nick Adams.)
Here, Dean ... Read More

The movie "Giant" is merely the best from start to finish!
The screen play, acting, direction and photography is set aside
for none to compare!
To witness James Dean's transition from youth to middle age
was a masterpiece!
