Four hours of Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor. I can only take either one for a limited period of time. And I know that, for some people, that's blasphemy, too.<br /><br />The thing with James Dean is, he apparently had zero inhibitions, which sometimes served his acting very well, and occasionally served it not very well at all.

That has a tendency to cover a multitude of sins, and he was able to get away with things on-screen because of it that other people (coughMarlonBrandocough) just couldn't, at least in my opinion.<br /><br />If you see "East of Eden" sometime, I'd be interested in what you think of it.<br /><br />missattitudelittlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10292815.post-76109379633296172202013-02-08T20:18:32.421-08:002013-02-08T20:18:32.421-08:00I really enjoyed Rebel, and I think Sal Mineo was ...I really enjoyed Rebel, and I think Sal Mineo was better than Dean. I know, blasphemy. Interestingly, Mineo's career turned out the way you describe Dean's as probably ending up.<br /><br />Giant annoyed me for some reason. Which is weird because I love all of the stars.<br /><br />Haven't seen East of Eden, but you gotta love Steinbeck.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219761342468705017noreply@blogger.com
