Too big for his boots? James Dean goes from simple country boy to greedy oil baron in Giant.Not many directors would have the courage to make a suspense film set entirely on a dinghy, but Alfred Hitchcock did just that with Lifeboat, which comes to Classics this month. Humphrey Bogart stars as the journalist turned publicist who exposes the corruption of the boxing world in The Harder They Fall, while Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum fall in love while stranded together on a Pacific island during World War Two in Heaven Knows, Mr Alison. Meanwhile, icons don't come bigger than James Dean, and his movies don't come bigger than Giant.
