Excellent presentation, I appreciate your posting and sharing it. I saw the Movie when it first was released in the mid 1950's and it has been a favorite ever since, I even own the DVD, a gift from one of my children due to them knowing how much I love the Movie, they witnessed me never miss a showing on T.V. in their lives at home before marriage . A great Movie and timeless in it's presentation of that era and actually a true to life story of a Texan named ''Glen McCarthy'' [Jett Rink]

The Russian Olympic organizers played this about 10 minutes into the closing ceremony, a neat way way to honor their ex-pat Dimitri Tiomkin, and tip their hat to the U.S. I'm sad that so few people recognized it as an American compositon.

[@WILTALK]

I recognized it and tried to tell my sister it was a song about Texas. Didn't know who wrote it but it makes sense that it was written by an ex Russian. Dimitri Tiomkin.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Why are they showing scenes of a lush Maryland fox hunt when singing of Yexaz? Shouldn’t they’ve showing the endless Texas plains? This is where the two gas in love while he is visiting Great to se Jimmy as Jett, though!the East to buy her horse!

[@RogerCG1]

What's funny about this is when lyrics are saying "This land is Texas..." at beginningt, it's showing scenes shot in Maryland(doubling for Virginia.) Most of the movie WAS actually shot in Texas.

[@jerseymike7946]

The Yellow Rose of Texas? She was a real person. By dallying with and distracting Santa Anna, who was besotted by her great beauty, the Yellow Rose delayed the Mexican army, thus giving Houston more time to organize. She was black by the way, the Yellow Rose a "high yellow" as "lightly colored" people used to be termed. "Rosebud" of course, just as in Citizen Kane, was a reference to a certain anatomical area of a woman's body. My Darling Clementine was about a lady of the evening who worked the mining camps. Looking up the original lyrics of these old songs can be pretty shocking.

What I like about Rock Hudson is he potrays his characters genuinely,in other words,he don't do like some actors who perform their roles,as if they acting about themselves.For example,Rock Hudson should have won an academy award for giant,but losing d fight to d restaurant owner who acted as a bigot and hate hispanics caused Rock not to win d award.There r certain actors who would have refused d role,because they had to lose d fight with d guy,even though they were d leading actor in d movie, and everything depends on d story.RIP Rock Hudson!

[@oo7JB1]

This is the most memorable scene.

[@steveelliott77]

If you have seen the movie the first part of this video is not Texas.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

The scenes with the locomotive weren't shot in Texas, because oil burning, not coal burning steam locomotives were used in Texas. By 1956 most of them had been replaced by diesels. I help maintain one of those Texas-Louisiana route oil burners which coincidentaly was retired the year that movie was made, placed in a New Orleans' park, then recovered, rebuilt and now operates. The one in the movie is a coal burning locomotive. The railroad companies that owned and serviced coal fields held out the longest in converting to diesel. Someone said it was shot in Virginia. That fits.

[@tommytruth7595]

+Lewis Doherty Opening scenes were filmed in Virginia.

[@texassteam]

The locomotive is a Greenbriar 4-8-4 (Northern) and is a beautiful machine with lots of power! Steam is King!

[@tommytruth7595]

And always will be.

[@christopherorourke6362]

Lewis Doherty the Norfolk & Western railroad held out the longest of all the railroads. I have a book called The last steam railroad in America which is all about the Norfolk & Western railroad. Norfolk & Western dropped steam in late 1960/early 1961.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

A photographer covered the end of steam there and maybe it's his book you have. There is a very famous photo he took of people in a drive in theater looking at a screen showing a jet plane, the new transportation, while a Norfolk & Southern Steam Locomotive passed by representing the "old." Because Norfolk & Western owned substantial coal resources, they wanted to keep coal.

You are absolutely correct - James Dean MADE the movie...Despite all the grandiose panoramas of the dull drought-stricken flat Texas landscape, the movie really would've been a boring dud w/o Dean. The ENTIRE movie was centered on JR (Jett Rink, later JR Ewing in tv series Dallas).
