East of Eden
PFS036
Directed By: Elia Kazan
Screenplay By: Paul Osborn
Starring: Julie Harris, James Dean, & Raymond Massey
1955 || 117 minutes || Rated PG
In the Salinas Valley in and around World War I, Cal Trask feels he must compete against overwhelming odds with his brother for the love of their father. Cal is frustrated at every turn, from his reaction to the war, how to get ahead in business and in life, and how to relate to his estranged mother.
We never got enough of James Dean, whose performance in this adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1952 The Hollywood Reporter described as "that rare thing, a young actor who is a great actor and the troubled eloquence with which he puts over the problems of misunderstood youth may lead to his being accepted by young audiences as a sort of symbol of their generation."
East of Eden is screening one-night only at Maiden Alley Cinema, on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.
The Paducah Film Society is Maiden Alley Cinema's own monthly movie club, screening classic, cult, and foreign films in western Kentucky. PFS is supported by Maiden Alley Cinema, WKMS, and local donors.
