Giant (1956)

Giant was James Dean's last film, and he was killed before the soundtrack was finished, so some of his lines in the banquet scene had to be dubbed by his friend Nick Adams. George Stevens won the Oscar for Best Director for this sweeping adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel about a Texas ranching dynasty, and Dean was nominated posthumously for Best Actor. Cast and crew spent the summer of 1955 in the tiny town of Marfa, Texas, now a magnet for art lovers, where the Hotel Paisano that housed the stars still remembers the shoot. Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor became friends on location, a bond that lasted until Hudson's death thirty years later.

This is the US One Sheet from the 1956 first release, linen-backed. Dean made only three starring films, and first-release paper for any of them is keenly sought.
