James Dean’s first starring role, and the best of his meteoric career, this is the performance that would make him the most legendary actor in history. Vivacious, animated, dexterous; his teenage energy crackles across the screen, and his pouty, magnificent good looks are nothing short of overwhelming. Based on the Steinbeck book, Dean plays the bad boy son who competes with his brother for their father’s favor…. and the affection of the beautiful Julie Harris.

This is yet another reason I wish I lived in LA! I would love to see this screening. Darn! You who live in town are so lucky to have these screenings in one of the most historic places in the City. Tell us more Allan about how this screening turned out. A faithful reader.
