I watched this great movie when I was an elementary school kid in Taiwan in 1960's, and I studied at UT-Austin for my Ph.D. from 1985 to 1992. I love Texas and still miss Texas a lot as a retired professor now. ^^

Giant was premiered here in Uruguay at the "CENSA" theatre in Montevideo , which then seated 3,500 people! It was full house of course. I was there, and the film was a huge success.

I was in the Texas Girls Choir and this was one of our standards. After more than 40 years it still is. Proud to have been an ambassador of this great Lone Star State. When I hear it, I'm ready to bet my boots and wave my Stetson.

Excellent presentation, I appreciate your posting and sharing it. I saw the Movie when it first was released in the mid 1950's and it has been a favorite ever since, I even own the DVD, a gift from one of my children due to them knowing how much I love the Movie, they witnessed me never miss a showing on T.V. in their lives at home before marriage . A great Movie and timeless in it's presentation of that era and actually a true to life story of a Texan named ''Glen McCarthy'' [Jett Rink]

I love this song as well as the movie!

Love the music! Good ol Texas! Best state in the country!

What I like about Rock Hudson is he potrays his characters genuinely,in other words,he don't do like some actors who perform their roles,as if they acting about themselves.For example,Rock Hudson should have won an academy award for giant,but losing d fight to d restaurant owner who acted as a bigot and hate hispanics caused Rock not to win d award.There r certain actors who would have refused d role,because they had to lose d fight with d guy,even though they were d leading actor in d movie, and everything depends on d story.RIP Rock Hudson!

Where did you find this version of "This Then is Texas" it's not from the movie, it is from another source and it's easily one of the best I have heard. Is there anyplace I can get the album you got this from ? thanks for posting, and editing, really captures the spirit of GIANT

The scenes with the locomotive weren't shot in Texas, because oil burning, not coal burning steam locomotives were used in Texas. By 1956 most of them had been replaced by diesels. I help maintain one of those Texas-Louisiana route oil burners which coincidentaly was retired the year that movie was made, placed in a New Orleans' park, then recovered, rebuilt and now operates. The one in the movie is a coal burning locomotive. The railroad companies that owned and serviced coal fields held out the longest in converting to diesel. Someone said it was shot in Virginia. That fits.

A photographer covered the end of steam there and maybe it's his book you have. There is a very famous photo he took of people in a drive in theater looking at a screen showing a jet plane, the new transportation, while a Norfolk & Southern Steam Locomotive passed by representing the "old." Because Norfolk & Western owned substantial coal resources, they wanted to keep coal.

The Chesapeake & Ohio train is in Virginia where the train scene was filmed in.

The Yellow Rose of Texas? She was a real person. By dallying with and distracting Santa Anna, who was besotted by her great beauty, the Yellow Rose delayed the Mexican army, thus giving Houston more time to organize. She was black by the way, the Yellow Rose a "high yellow" as "lightly colored" people used to be termed. "Rosebud" of course, just as in Citizen Kane, was a reference to a certain anatomical area of a woman's body. My Darling Clementine was about a lady of the evening who worked the mining camps. Looking up the original lyrics of these old songs can be pretty shocking.
