Hollywood legend James Dean stars in this adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel East of Eden. Teenaged Cal Trask (Dean--Rebel Without a Cause, Giant) longs for the affection that his father reserves for his brother Aron, but his efforts meet only rejection. Also attracted to Aron's girlfriend, Cal becomes so frustrated in his search for love and acceptance that he reveals a long-held secret about their mother to Aron . . . knowledge that now tears the family apart.
Cannery Row
Nick Nolte og Debra Winger spiller i denne eksentriske romantiske filmen basert på John Steinbecks noveller Cannery Row og Sweet Thursday. Blant uteliggerne, drømmerne og de utstøtte som bodde i Monterey på 1940-tallet, bor Doc (Nolte-- Hotel Rwanda, The Prince of Tides ), en marinbiolog med en fortid han ønsker å glemme, og Suzy (Winger-- Shadowlands, Terms of Endearment ), en landstryker som flytter inn i bordellet tvers over gaten for Doc. De forelsker seg, men for disse to sterke, selvstendige personene blir ikke romantikken problemfri.
