James Dean Classics (Rebel Without A Cause / East Of Eden) (2 Disc Set)

Rebel Without A Cause:
In one of the most influential performances in movie history, James Dean plays Jim Stark, the new kid in town whose loneliness, frustration and anger mirrored those of postwar teens – and still reverberates 50 years later. Natalie Wood (as Jim’s girl Judy) and Sal Mineo (as Jim’s tag along pal Plato) were Academy Award® nominees for their achingly true performances. Director Nicholas Ray was also an Oscar® nominee for this landmark chosen as one of the all-time Top 100 American Films by the American Film Institute.

Special Features:

• Commentary by Biographer Douglas L. Rathgeb

East Of Eden:
East of Eden is the first of 3 major films that make up James Dean’s movie legacy. The 24-year-old heartthrob plays Cal, a wayward Salinas Valley youth who vies for the affection of his hardened father with his favoured brother. Also stars Raymond Massey and Julie Harris.
