The 1955 film that launched James Dean into his brief, doomed stardom was adapted from a bloated novel by John Steinbeck about two brothers, one bad and one good (Cain and Abel, right?) competing for their dad’s love in 1917 Salinas.
Elia Kazan’s movie version is almost equally turgid and portentous, but catches fire in the clashes between Dean (as the bad brother) and Raymond Massey as his stiff-necked dad.
