with Rock Hudson, James Dean
Opening a season of films starring Elizabeth Taylor
After a whirlwind romance and marriage to Bick Benedict , the beautiful Leslie heads for Texas, the half-million acre Benedict Ranch and a new way of life.
This sprawling movie portrait of Texas life, based on Edna Ferber 's famous novel, spans three decades of family life and the changing times between the 1930s and the post-war years. Elizabeth Taylor gives probably her finest screen performance as the enchanting Leslie, who grows from girlhood to sedate middle-age, as the focal point of the Benedict family.
Leslie Benedict. ... Elizabeth TAYLOR
Screenplay by FRED GUIOL and IVAN MOFFAT From the novel by EDNA FERBER
Produced by GEORGE STEVENS and HENRY GINSBERG Directed by GEORGE STEVENS
