The strong screen adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1952 novel features the debut of James Dean. Like Cain with Abel, a black sheep competes with his brother for his father's love--with tragic results.
Cast:
"[I]t's easy to see why Dean set off a youthquake that still rumbles almost 50 years after his death....He captures brooding, adolescent confusion with a seductive, rock-star charisma."
-- Tim Purtell
, (Entertainment Weekly)
"Elia Kazan's classic movie of John Steinbeck's novel..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today) "EAST is not only one of Kazan's richest films and Dean's first significant role, it is also arguably the actor's best performance." -- Kenneth Turan , (Los Angeles Times) "[I]t's not hard to be seduced by the performances or by the photography, which makes arresting use of widescreen space and skewed angles..." -- Matthew Leyland , (Sight and Sound) |
