In this sweeping drama, wealthy Texan marries a strong beautiful girl and their adjustments to life are interwoven with problems of Mexican workers and an ambitious ranch hand who becomes an oil tycoon.
“George Stevens’ sprawling adaptation of Edna Ferber’s best-selling novel successfully walks a fine line between potboiler and serious drama for its 210-minute running time, making it one of the few epics of its era that continues to hold up as engrossing entertainment across the decades. Giant opens circa 1922 in Maryland.” – Rovi
“An excellent film which registers strongly on all levels, whether it’s in its breathtaking panoramic shots of the dusty Texas plains; the personal, dramatic impact of the story itself, or the resounding message it has to impart.” – Variety
