Yes. It had the advantage of being based on an American literary classic written by an iconic author. Add to that having Elia Kazan as director. How could it lose?
American Film Institute left East of Eden off the list of the 100 best American films of all time. In regard only appear Giant and Rebel Without a Cause. The same happens in other relationships with less prestige but which serve as a reference for many moviegoers as The 1000 movies you must see before you die. I think these selections do not correspond to reality or to think that the general public. East of Eden is the best of the three films and also the best work of James Dean. The actor has worked on over 30 productions on TV and also starred on Broadway, but was in the role of Caleb Trask Dean became a star. His interpretation provocative, innovative and visceral, thanks in part to the text and the direction of Elia Kazan, was a milestone in the history of cinema.
It's unfortunate that this good documentary does not have closed captions. Sometimes it's not clear what it's being said and the low volumes does not help either.
I think Lew Bracker was Jimmy's best friend in the last 18 months of his life.Lew did not have a special agenda or a need to criticize his eccentric traits and difficult temperament.
You nailed it - have to remember Dean was only 24 when he died. Most of us have our head in our ass at that age. Lew was a good friend of Jimmy's and not part of Hollywood business crowd, Just too guys who loved life and racing cars. Lew is the last of Jimmy’s friends still living. His book about his friendship is pure and written from the heart.

Pure opinion and speculation, JD was desperate for father approval and that’s why he was picked for this movie? He was an actor, he may or may not have had relationship problems with his father. I think James Dean was an actor with normal interest. Not everyone is so complicated as these people seem to think and if they are these people would not know.
It is pretty obvious from legitimate Dean biographies that he did suffer from some sort of mental illness. Popular consensus is that if alive today, he would've been diagnosed as bipolar. But, that certainly doesn't mean his father was a " monster " and all the other nonsense. He grew up surrounded by much love from his family. Perhaps his relationship with his father wasn't perfect, but it sounds no different from other " troubled " relationships teens have with their parents at that age. It certainly doesn't means father and son didn't love each other. I believe Marcus, too.
Michael Broek! Of Brookdale! Is it just you who calls yourself F Scott Fitzhemingway, or Karen Manning/Eugenie Allen/Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney too? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@MareShoop No. She was 30 at the time. You think that's too old? BTW she pulled off playing a twelve year old child just five years prior, quite nicely, in "A Member of the Wedding".
@@xxashley314xx I have no idea what I was referencing to tbh. I was using a lot of drugs back then (2014). So I bet I was trying to sound "cool" when I wasn't. I'll be 4 years clean on May 22, 2021.
I think its his best film. Lois played a waitress in a bar that (James' character) Cal's Mother owns. Its only a quick scene, its the one shown in this video. I dont think she had any other scenes in the film.
James Dean allegedly antagonized Raymond Massey to built a conflict against the father/son relationship. Not mentioning that Massey was difficult to begin with. Massey came from great family wealth. As part of the Massey Tractor Co of Canada. He looked down on people.
Raymond Massey starred in a 1957 Alfred Hitchcock Presents with a very young Richard Chamberlain. Mr. Massey specifically approved Mr. Chamberlain's casting some years later for Dr. Kildare, a kindness Mr. Chamberlain never forgot. If Mr. Dean consistently changed the lines on Mr. Massey and throwing him off balance, it makes sense Mr. Massey would have grown upset with him.
No matter how many times I see East of Eden ...I 'm in tears .Amazing movie ..James Dean and Julie Harris
Yeah I'm always crying while watching the film
the same, it was the first film I saw of Dean's and I was blown away - still gets to me.
James Dean was brilliant in this film (as he was in all his roles). Le Petit Prince of American cinema.
Bill Bast is so perceptive and knowledgeable when he talks about Jimmy that he comes across as one of the few who really knew and understood him.
Fathers are really important in boys lives.
east of eden was my favorite movie of his.
...and the only one he saw.
I was born way too late I would have loved to have met him. I use to act and a lot of what I did as an actor was largely inspired by him Brando Washington a ton of other actors
We all are compelled by what his future would have been.
THE BEST EVER WILL BE JAMES DEAN THE LEGENDARY ALL TIME
JD is just beyond beautiful.....he is surreal.
Lois Smith is such a lucky woman!
My favorite James Dean movie. It has more depth than the other two.
Yes. It had the advantage of being based on an American literary classic by an iconic author.

i am bad i knew that for a long time... that was so heartfelt makes you cry almost
You have a beautiful heart honey
Loved his 3 big films , even the not so popular small movies that he starred in ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for posting this outstanding video about the legendary Jimmy Dean. You go F. Scott Fitzhemingway!
You are Wellcome - glad you enjoyed it.
Love james in east of eden it's my favorite film 💖💝
Lois Smith was gorgeous!
And her career is still going strong. I was surprised to see her a few days ago in "Lady Bird"
Not really gorgeous..more a cute, natural girl
vinny I definitely think she’s gorgeous. And those cute features make her such a pretty older woman as well!
@@pa3997 Good actress.
She was on the series True Blood as well!

Julie Harris always looked special
Thank you so much for posting these vids!
wow,,this is great
Underrated content. Bravo.
Imagine being left abandoned by dying lmao that's not abandonment she didn't choose it. Life took her from him.
You obviously can't put yourself into the mind of a child. They believe bad things happen as a punishment.
The death of someone we love is often unconsciously perceived as a form of abandonment also in adult life, plus he was 9.
Great Documentary
Why making his situation is the Hero?!!! He is giant talent.. that simple, admit it.
Lui giovanissimo era già in grado di essere accanto se no sovrastare dei grandi talenti i come Liz Taylor e Rock Hudson....Dio mio
Age is cruel ; looking @ James deans friends & co stars then & now . Fast forward 60yrs it's shocking.
Age has a job
Well it should not be. 60 years is a long time.
Old age is not for wimps...
@@m.e.d.7997 I know
@@blueskye6372 tell me about it
exactly, I've found the entire screen test, thanks ;)
I wonder what I would give for him to come back to us. Nonsense, of course.
He was also an Aquarius which accounts for his chronic insomnia (Aquarians are known to stay awake for hours upon hours at night)
Oh please
You people are crazy, so you realize astronomers all think astrology is bullshit???
he was an Awesome actor..
Sfortunato col padre,sfortunato con la fidanzata e la madre di lei; perciò riversava tutto nella recitazione.
His mother abandoned him by dying!
what?
That is not called "abandoned" 😂
Lmao
Yeah i thought that was not a good way to put it
Dean his three films almost filmed his own life
Lovely 💋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💕💕💕💕💕💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💖💖

John Hendrix Exactly...there is too much of an effort by others to conjure up a mystique that simply isn’t there.

Did Lois Smith audition for the part of Abra first? That's what the test footage looks like.
I would like to know too. Seems that way though. She is so pretty!!
Yes. She did
Porfle Popnecker She would have been better than Julie Harris , IMO. Harris was too old to play Abra.
@@MareShoop No.Julie was perfect

He had insomnia
@@sharynstover1823drinking copious amounts of coffee were maybe the cause. Speaking from personal experience.
Never seen it ..but I am trying to find a clip with him and and lois Smith ..who did she play. Can only see the wardrobe tests.
I think its his best film. Lois played a waitress in a bar that (James' character) Cal's Mother owns. Its only a quick scene, its the one shown in this video. I dont think she had any other scenes in the film.
@@ladylena1918 oh ok. I thought she was a main character. Thanks.
@@ladylena1918 she had two scenes, the other scene was in the house snd she was questioned about Cal. It was a brief scene.
Unfortunately My son was same way.

If there had been no Brando how much larger would JD's Shadow be? Just a thought.
@therese fassie I won't argue against Brando..He was a monster talent..I was just wondering from James Dean's side.
5:43 wich movie is that?
East of eden I think
Pause at 0:02
