Review

 

The searing classic of paradise lost.

The 24-year old idol-to-be James Dean 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 performers, Jo Van Fleet won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

In 1985 late on a Sunday night on BBC2 I was captivated by this film. At the time I did not know who James Dean so to watch this film without the knowledge showed me what a fantastic actor he was.His acting was at the time the best i had seen. The film set just before the first world war concentrates on the story of Cal and Aron as in the Kane and Abel biblical story. Deans performance was always breath taking and watching this again some 25 years later on DVD in its glorious cinema-scope as opposed to full frame made me realise how much of the picture I had missed, sit back and enjoy.
