Wealthy rancher Bick Benedict and dirt-poor cowboy Jett Rink both woo Leslie Lynnton, a beautiful young woman from Maryland who is new to Texas. She marries Benedict, but she is shocked by the racial bigotry of the White Texans against the local people of Mexican descent. Rink discovers oil on a small plot of land, and while he uses his vast, new wealth to buy all the land surrounding the Benedict ranch, the Benedict's disagreement over prejudice fuels conflict that runs across generations.

It's like Gone With the Wind meets Citizen Kane with a dash of To Kill a Mockingbird. Could have done with a little more time in the editing suite, but Stevens succeeds in telling an interesting story about generational conflict, romantic conflict, ethnic conflict, and the apparent inability of U.S. culture to progress.

God, there are moments in this that are just breathtaking--the epic Texas landscapes, James Dean mumbling with his hat pulled down low, Elizabeth Taylor doing most anything. There are moments in the first half where my mind started to compare this to the breadth and beauty of Gone With the Wind. Unfortunately, it starts to bite off a tad more than it can chew--in keeping so much (I assume) of the source material, it starts to lose focus. It's far less successful when it tries to tackle racism in any substantive way, leading to a fairly ridiculous ending that isn't worth the 3.5 hours I just put into it.

It was pretty good. But 201 minutes? Ugh.

1, Entertaining. It was woke before woke was invented.
2. Damn this movie is long. Possibly the olny minus.

Heard it was too long and boring so I watched it with low expectations. Turns out I really enjoyed it. I was invested in these people's lives. And I loved the final shot.
