Synopsis

There's no specifically gay content in this one, but James Dean, Rock Hudson, Sal Mineo and Elizabeth Taylor? Hello, could this film be more gay??

Review

Over 45 years after his tragic death, Dean remains a mythic icon of youthful rebelliousness and alienation. This sprawling saga of Texas oil aristocracy provided Dean his final and most challenging role as the arrogant ranch hand, Jett Rink. A Best Director Oscar went to Stevens while Hudson earned a nomination for his finest screen work and Taylor won acclaim as Hudson's compassionate wife. Giant is an epic-sized drama of greed, jealousy and loyalty, but its stars seem to outshine the penetrating screenplay and thoughtful direction. Sal Mineo plays Angel, the Mexican son of Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor's housekeepers. Hudson says, " That boy's the best dang man on the place."
