ELEPHANT WALK (1954)

"We also have Chopin in Paris," Elizabeth Taylor tells Dana Andrews in ELEPHANT WALK, bearing many similarities to GIANT two-years later: A down-to-earth girl marries a prideful and stubborn millionaire (Peter Finch) already married to his land that's made him a fortune. So Dana's the original James Dean. And back to how he started: The secondary male lead i.e. the guy who doesn't get the girl. Which isn't for a lack of trying. And in this case, deserving.
