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.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Reflection Comment: It amazes me that no-one seems to undertake a new production of this brilliant story. The movie only deals with a small part - if you've seen the movie, you must read the book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: James Dean is really good in this Comment: James Dean first Movie, EAST OF EDEN, is based on the book, i liked this movie because James Dean gives a really good profomance and its a good story.
Cal and Aaron are twins. there father told them there mother is dead, he also seems to like Aaron better then Cal. Cal is a rebal with everything he does, he finds out his mother is still alive, and all the while trys to make his father accept him...
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wonderful Movie Comment: This is my favorite James Dean movie. It is definitely worth buying. Very highly recommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Finally! So excited about this DVD version Comment: This is one of the best films ever made by an amazing director and an amazing cast!!
The only thing that really draws from the DVD is the commentary option. The man who comments on the film is HORRIBLE. He is obviously jealous of pretty much all the actors in the cast, especially Jimmy and Julie. Most everything thing he says is critical of them and the film. I wish I could write to someone who can eliminate his commentary and get someone who really knows the film and is not jealous.
Amazing film though!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of the Great Films! Comment: This is one of the great films. The drama is so stirring I have the most pained look on my face at the end of this film as I try not to cry before I inevitably do. James Dean made three films and all were great but this one is the best. He was truly a great actor and a great loss. The other actors are just as skilled and the director Elia Kazan makes the most out of his actors. This disk contains not just a great print of the film but several terrific special features. The commentary with Richard Schickel is absorbing enough to keep you glued to the television set for another two and half hours. Just a wonderful movie.
