East of Eden [1955] (DVD)
Elia Kazan
Synopsis
2-Disc Special Edition
Based on John Steinbeck's novel and directed by Elia Kazan, East of Eden is the first of three major films that make up James Dean's movie legacy. The 24-year-old idol-to-be plays Cal, a wayward Salinas Valley youth who vies for the affection of his hardened father (Raymond Massey) with his favored brother Aron (Richard Davalos). Playing off the haunting sensitivity of Julie Harris, Dean's performance earned one of the film's four Academy Award® nominations. Among the movie's stellar performances, Jo Van Fleet won the Oscar® as Best Supporting Actress.
