AFI Movie Date Night #18

Giant starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean was tonight's viewing. This 1956 film was #82 on the list. I'm not sure why it has such hoopla, but it's probably because of Dean. I didn't really care for either of the male leads performances and I thought Taylor was just ok. Maybe this long film was welcomed in the 50's but I thought this long film was mostly boring! B-.

After reading more about the movie, I realized I didn't notice that was Dennis Hopper! It looks like I'll see him in Rebel Without A Cause also.
