James Dean died before it was finished and his last scenes had to be dubbed: three hours of Texas oil money, filmed as a family argument that runs thirty years.
“Hewing pretty closely to the content of Miss Ferber's agitating tale of contemporary Texas cattle barons and nouveau riche oil tycoons, Mr. Stevens...[has] contrived a tremendously vivid picture-drama that gushes a tawdry tragedy. And Mr. Stevens has made it Visual in staggering scenes of the great Texas plains and of passion-charged human relations that hold the hardness of the land and atmosphere.”
