You came into the lives
of all these different families.
:50:06
Three different families, their children
and grandchildren growing up.
:50:11
Everybody can relate to that.
:50:13
It's been said of my father
that he was a very good listener...
:50:17
and he was always interested
in a good idea.
:50:20
But once he made up his mind,
it was like the sun going down.
:50:24
You can't find films like that today.
:50:27
You have to go back 40 years ago
to get those kind of films.
:50:31
Giant, it had it all.
:50:33
He made films, not just for 1956.
:50:37
He used to say, "If we spend some time
on this, and take some care with this...
:50:43
"this might be a film people
will be interested in 25 years from now. "
:50:48
I was a young man
when he said that to me.
:50:51
To sit here now and realize
that it's 40 years later...
:50:55
and he made a film that has fascinated...
:51:00
audiences for four decades...
:51:03
it gives me great respect...
:51:06
for his attitude,
of really taking care with the film...
:51:10
in the hope that it would be a film
that would last.
:51:15
And Hollywood outdoes itself...
:51:17
paying tribute
to a mighty motion picture...
:51:20
with a premiere that climaxes
all previous gala openings.
:51:23
A night Hollywood Boulevard
will long remember.
:51:26
The glamorous, record-breaking premiere
of a great motion picture:
:51:31
Giant.
