Continuity mistake: When Luz is talking to Jet on the phone for the first time, from the front she's fiddling with the phone cord with her left hand. When it cuts to the reverse, however, her hand is flat on the desk.
Giant (1956)
Directed by: George Stevens
Starring: Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Carroll Baker, James Dean
Factual error: When the boy is crying because he's made to ride a pony, the Texas flag is made wrong. The top star point is toward the red stripe instead of the white strip as it should be. In other scenes the flag is flown upside down - the white stripe should be on top.
Factual error: When Jett is supposedly drilling for oil, just before the gusher comes in, the equipment he is using is not a drilling rig, but a pump for an existing well already producing oil.
Trivia: Although Carroll Baker plays Elizabeth Taylor's daughter in the movie, she was actually a year older than Taylor.
Trivia: Elizabeth Taylor plays Dennis Hopper's mother in the movie, even though she was only four years older than him.
Bick Benedict: Just remember, one of these days, that bourbon's gonna kill you.
Uncle Bawley: Okay, it'll be me or it. One of us has gotta go.
Jett Rink: You sure do look pretty, Miss Leslie. Pert nigh good enough to eat.
Leslie Benedict: Money isn't everything, Jett.
Jett Rink: Not when you've got it.
Question: When was 'Giant' first shown (month-day-year) on network television?
