My favorite film. I've seen this movie on a cable network in HD with better quality than this blu-ray but still not bad.

James Dean is all what I can say. I really like his movies and it is even better on bluray especially getting a book with the movies.

The fact that the only three films James Dean made were all masterpieces in their own way is incredible to me (Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden, Giant). To have lived such a short life, yet so full. This is an outstanding picture with a very odd character played by James Dean. Masterful directing by Elia Kazan (On the Waterfront, Splendor in the Grass, A Face in the Crowd).

Dean's agent pick the correct film for Mr. Dean to start his career. With the fine direction of Elia Kazan and a Steinbeck novel for material the timing was perfect. A touching story of human interaction, Mr. Kazan traces people attempting to move through life successfully. An Oscar went to Jo Van Fleet for best supporting actress. One of the best films from the 1950's.
