Marfa is also where they filmed "Giant" with Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean
I know! One of my all-time faves. Shall I run some lines of it for you? LOL
Bick and Leslie and Luz and Jordy and Jett Rink. Bick meeting Leslie in Maryland and their beautiful showplace of a horse farm. The train ride to Texas.
The Shamrock Hotel opening was one of my favorite scenes, I think. No, wait, the part where Liz Taylor is given the honor of scooping the brains out of the calf skull at the BBQ on the Reata. No, maybe when Jett hit the first gusher. Or, no, when Sal Mineo came home in the flag-draped coffin on the train after the war. Or when the little diner (probably in Marfa) refused to serve Bick because of Jordy's little babies and grandaddy Bick decked somebody.
Maybe not a great movie to everyone else, but I love it.
Marfa was also a racehorse of the 80s, opr was it the 70s/
I admit to liking 3, 4, and 9. At least I like the photographs of them.
