Elizabeth Taylor Retrospective

The series is hosted and introduced by author and film historian Matthew Kennedy (On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide). Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing at the screenings, courtesy of Best Bookstore Palm Springs.
Rediscover Elizabeth Taylor as she was meant to be seen—on the big screen.
Giant (1956)
Director: George Stevens
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean
Spanning decades in the life of a powerful Texas ranching family, Giant is a sweeping American epic about land, wealth, race, and the slow grind of social change. Personal conflicts unfold against a vast landscape, turning domestic drama into national myth.
Taylor anchors Giant with warmth, intelligence, and quiet strength, evolving alongside her character as time passes. It’s one of her great ensemble achievements—and a reminder that she could hold her own in the biggest, boldest canvases Hollywood could offer.
