as big a a texas prairie and equally a boring . even liz taylor and james dean and chill will and and dennis hopper can not float this overbloated boat . taylor actually look bad wrong wardrobe and wrong hair and and wrong makeup a unique accomplishment in her remarkable career . hopper give the only believable performance and and dean in the climactic scene display remarkable talent a something we usually do not remember him for a comic actor . rock hudson be his usual prototype of barbie doll ken and make one wonder what a and say and redford could have do with the male lead . there be no discernible plot that provide any tension until the final twenty minute and just a pastiche of milestone that have little relationship to each other . except for hopper and there be no character development and only a collection of cardboard cutout that pop up periodically for no discernible reason like random target in a shooting gallery . to it credit and the film do tackle racism and sexism at a time when they be taboo subject and and it do have size and make it an excellent choice for rid yourself of unwelcome house guest . those with the dvd version can spare themselves some of the tedium by start with the second disk . you would not be miss anything of interest .
