Wealthy Texas rancher Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson) shakes things up at home when he returns from a trip to the East Coast with a love interest, the refined Leslie Lynnton (Elizabeth Taylor). Bick and Leslie get married, but she clashes with his sister, Luz (Mercedes McCambridge), and wins the admiration of the ambitious young Jett Rink (James Dean). Bick and Jett form a tense rivalry that continues to surface as the years pass and fortunes change in this sweeping drama.

Director George Stevens` sweeping saga of family conflict and social consciousness based on Edna Ferber`s best seller is presented here for the first time on Blu-ray. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, with a win for Stevens, and starring Rock Hudson as rancher Bick Benedict, Elizabeth Taylor as his wife Leslie and James Dean (in his final film role) as nouveau oil baron Jett Rink, this tale of three generations of Texans remains both grand and intimate.

Ein Film Klassiker der heute immer noch aktuell ist.Das zuviel Geld den Charakter verdierbt,das Egoistische Denken und das verlangen nach Anerkennung
KULT!

dean's letzter - ebenfalls grandioser - film. hier spielt er mit der (noch schönen) elisabeth taylor und rock hudson. angeblich hat es am set streitereien gegeben, weil jimmy rock hudson immer übertrumpft und ihm somit die szene gestohlen hat. eine gute story in einer zeit, in der noch fast alles in ordnung war. kult!
