About this movie

Oscar-winner George Stevens ("Shane") won an Oscar for his direction of this legendary "stirring slice of Americana" (Variety) based on Edna Ferber's novel.

Their adjustments to life on their ranch are interwoven with problems of Mexican workers and an ambitious young ranch hand who becomes an oil tycoon. One of the year's top box office releases!

This movie presaged all of the issues we face today back when they were unspoken: sexism, racism, and the psychopathology of becoming rich. Elizabeth Taylor is an outstanding and gifted actor.

This is absolutely the best film of 1956. I love seeing them age and change throughout the decades. The actors are at the top of their game. I didn't become a Taylor fan until I saw this movie.

Have always loved this movie. To watch 3 great stars work together in one movie with a good story is awesome.
