Giant (1956) - James Dean Strikes Oil

***Not mine, no copyright intended*** This is, IMO, Dean’s greatest scene (along with the birthday scene from EAST OF EDEN), and it’s the one he should remembered for. Jett Rink is a great rise-and-fall story, embodied by a 24-year old Dean in his swan song. He would infamously die just 2 weeks after wrapping up his scenes for this HUGE movie.
