Legendary director George Stevens made this sweeping epic about the transformation of Texas from cattle ranchers to oil tycoons through a wealthy family. After marrying a wealthy rancher, a beautiful socialite tries to fight social injustice and racism while trying to adapt to her new home. While it's overrated in many ways and too long, it's saved by the performances of Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean in his last film. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
