Afternoon Classic Films presents a screening of “Giant” on Monday, March 3 at 1:30 pm in the Peter White Public Library Community Room.
A sprawling adaptation of Edna Ferber’s best-selling novel, this epic film is the story of Texan rancher Bick Benedict, played by Rock Hudson, who visits a Maryland farm to buy a prize horse. While there he meets and falls in love with the owner’s daughter Leslie, played by Elizabeth Taylor, and they are married immediately and return to the ranch in Texas. “Giant” is the story of their family and its rivalry with cowboy and oil tycoon, Jett Rink, played by James Dean, as it unfolds across two generations.
Released in 1956, “Giant” was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, winning Best Director for George Stevens. The film is shown in color and runs for 201 minutes.
