jamesdean – Front Row Classics

Money Isn’t Everything.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the great film epics, George Stevens’ Giant. This 1956 film still resonates with its themes of family, changing times and race relations. Tristan Tapscott joins Brandon to discuss the legendary production. The two take a look at the fine performances from Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean. The film would mark Dean’s final screen appearance before his untimely death. Ivan Moffat’s screenplay and Dimitri Tiomkin’s score are also discussed.
