Comments: Jordan Benedict travels to Maryland to buy a horse for his large cattle ranch in West Texas. He is attracted to the daughter of the owner, Leslie. She thinks she's in love with him. Then, they're married and move to Jordan's ranch. But Jordan's live-in sister doesn't like the change. Meanwhile, hired hand Jett is jealous of Jordan.
This epic is impressive. It addresses prejudice and economic progress in rural Texas in the early Twentieth Century. It's also James Dean's final film. A very young Dennis Hopper does well. From a novel.
