Description

"Giant" (Warner Brothers, 1956). Lobby Card Set of Eight (11" X 14"). The monumental struggle of wills between Texas cattle baron Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson) and hired hand turned rich oil man Jett Rink (James Dean) comes to a head when Jett announces his oil well strike to the lord of Reata. This famous epic tells the story of Bick and his wife Leslie (Elizabeth Taylor) and the generations that follow on the plains of West Texas, confronting hard times, death, and racism. This original lobby card set has pinholes in the borders and images. There is a bit of edge and corner wear, too. Card #2 has paper residue and staining in the borders. A complete original release lobby card set is a rarity and this one will restore easily. Fine. From the James Dean Museum archive.
