Iconic film of the United States, directed by George Stevens and starred by Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean. It approaches subjects that affect us today: the roll of women in society, racism, conflicts spread by new oil fields. There is something biblical about this scene, where the female character kneels before the man that holds a gun as if he was crucified.
