Giant is a 1956 American film starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean. The movie is an epic portrayal of a powerful Texas ranching family challenged by changing times and the coming of big oil. Giant won praise from both critics and the public, and according to the Texan author, Larry McMurtry, was especially popular with Texans, even though it was sharply critical of Texan society. Bosley Crowther of the New York Times wrote that "[George Stevens] takes three hours and seventeen minutes to put his story across. That's a heap of time to go on about Texas, but Mr. Stevens has made a heap of film." and 'Giant', for all its complexity, is a strong contender for the year's top-film award."
