This box set features three special edition versions of 'Giant', 'Rebel Without A Cause' and 'East Of Eden'.
Giant (Dir. George Stevens, 1956): (Widescreen 1.66:1 / Dolby Digital (2.0) Stereo / Colour)
The James Dean legend lives on in 'Giant', George Stevens sweeping Oscar-winning epic about the cataclysmic effect the discovery of oil in Texas has on the lifestyle of the former cattle barons. Dean is Jett Rink, a sullen-farm hand who becomes a millionaire overnight. Tough, always angry, restless, bewildered and reckless, Rink's animal charm and tycoon's magnetism means he always gets his way. But when he fails in love with Leslie he loses his way with an equal violence...
Rebel Without A Cause (Dir. Nicholas Ray, 1955): (Widescreen 2.55:1 Anamorphic / English - Dolby Digital (5.1), French Dolby Digital (1.0) / English, Spanish, French subtitles / Colour)
Jim Stark... a kid from a 'good' family - what makes him tick... like a bomb?
In one of the most influential performances in movie history, James Dean plays the new kid in town whose loneliness, frustration and anger mirrored those of postwar teens - and still reverberate 50 years later.
Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo were Academy Award nominees for their achingly true performances. Director Nicholas Ray was also an Oscar nominee for this landmark chosen as one of the all-time Top 100 American Film by the American Film Institute.
East Of Eden (Dir. Elia Kazan, 1955): (Widescreen 2.55:1 Anamorphic / English - Dolby Digital (5.1), French - Dolby Digital (2.0) / English, French , Spanish - subtitles)
The searing classic of paradise lost.
Based on John Steinbeck's novel and directed by Elia Kazan, East of Eden is the first of three major films that make up James Dean's movie legacy. The 24-year-old idol-to-be 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 performances, Jo Van Fleet won the Oscar as Best Supporting Actress.
