James Dean heads 'East of Eden' on HBO Max

East of Eden (1955), Elia Kazan’s adaptation of the John Steinbeck acclaimed novel (or rather, a small portion of it), is a powerful story of fathers and sons and brothers and the growing power of California’s agriculture industry in the Salinas Valley during World War I. But its legacy ultimately has less to do with Steinbeck than its brooding, restless young leading man. East of Eden made an…

'East of Eden' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. Recently, I have been fortunate enough to see two out of the three films James Dean made in his short but powerful film career: “Rebel Without a Cause” and now “East of Eden.”  Both of them have been released on 4K this year through Warner Brothers Home Entertainment.  “Giant,” the third film in Dean’s career, has…

I don’t know if anyone has ever seen the other screen test for East of Eden, like not the one with Jimmy blatantly flirting with Paul Newman. Insane. I don’t know how they ever casted the movie because James Dean had crazy sexual tension with every male costar he ever had. He and Richard Davalos did a little method acting by pretending to be brothers off screen so maybe that helped readjust their chemistry but I mean goddamn.

JAMES DEAN

JAMES DEAN

1931-1955

            James Dean was an American actor who is best known for playing Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) as well as starring in East of Eden (1955) and Giant (1956).

            Dean was born in Marion, Indiana, America and moved with his family to Santa Monica, California. He was aged 9, when his mother died of uterine cancer, his father sent him to live with his aunty and uncle on their farm in Fairmount, Indiana. His father served in World War II and later remarried. Dean became close to his local Methodist pastor whom allegedly sexually abused him. Dean did well at school, was involved in sport and drama and was a popular student.

            After school he moved to California with his dog, Max, and moved in with his father and stepmother. He studied law and then studied drama which resulted in him becoming estranged from his father. He started appearing in plays and his first onscreen appearance was in a Pepsi commercial.

            Dean had numerous relationships with women, including with many actresses. He dated actress Barbara Glenn for two years, their love letters were sold for thousands of dollars at an auction and also with Italian actress Pier Angeli, who gave each other gifts of jewellery. Dean’s co-star, Richard Davalos said that Dean wanted to marry Angeli, however it was her mother that disapproved of Dean, the way he dressed, his drinking and the fact he wasn’t Catholic and so she married someone else and at the end of her life she said that Dean was the love of her life (she died of an overdose of barbiturates in 1971, aged 39). He was involved with Swiss actress Ursula Andress at the end of his life.

There have been rumours that Dean was bisexual and had experimented with men, his roommate William Bast said in his book that he and Dean spent a night together at a hotel. A good friend of Dean’s, Martin Landau stated that a lot of gay men ‘make him out to be gay’ but he said it’s not true and stated that Dean was only interested in women. Elizabeth Taylor had once referred Dean to being gay, when questioned she stated ‘he hadn’t made up his mind’ but ‘he was certainly fascinated by women. He flirted around.’

            Dean died in a car crash on 30 September 1955, aged 24.

#TCMFF film notes:

When director Elia Kazan realized Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift were too old to play the brothers in his adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, he went looking for new talent. Boy, did he find it! In his first starring role (and the only one of his major films released during his lifetime), James Dean burns up the screen with inner turmoil. He’s cast as Cal, the tortured Cain to Richard Davalos’s Abel and Raymond Massey’s Adam in coastal California on the eve of World War I. Rejection dominates Dean’s performance as he strives to win his father’s love, finds himself drawn to his brother’s girlfriend (Julie Harris), and discovers his mother (Jo Van Fleet) is running a brothel in a nearby town.

Working with cinematographer Ted McCord, Kazan reflected Cal’s emotional turmoil in his creative use of the widescreen image. This was Kazan’s first film shot in color and CinemaScope, and he frequently tilts the camera to intensify a scene’s emotional impact. He also worked with composer Leonard Rosenman to make the score mirror Cal’s inner life. At the time, many reviewers lauded Kazan’s move into widescreen while complaining that Dean’s performance was just an imitation of early Brando. More recent critics have hailed the film as Kazan’s and Dean’s best. Van Fleet won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with her film debut, with additional nominations going to Kazan, Dean, and Paul Osborn’s adapted screenplay.
