Description

Giant (Warner Bros., 1956). Very Fine- on Linen. Italian Photobusta (18.5" X 27").
Giant, directed by George Stevens, is an epic drama that spans generations, exploring themes of love, power, and social change in Texas. Starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean in his final film role, the story follows a wealthy cattle rancher, his strong-willed wife, and an ambitious young ranch hand whose rise to oil fortune sparks tensions over class, race, and family legacy. The film masterfully portrays the transformation of Texas from a cattle-dominated society to an oil-driven economy, while also addressing issues of prejudice and gender roles. With its sweeping cinematography, compelling performances, and grand storytelling, Giant became a landmark film, earning 10 Academy Award nominations and securing Stevens an Oscar for Best Director. Its legacy endures as a powerful reflection on American identity and the changing social landscape of the 20th century. This Italian photobusta features a great closeup shot of James Dean as Jett Rink as his oil well comes in, a key scene from the film. Restoration has addressed fold and edge wear. There are studio number punches on the right side.
