This is an incredible time capsule. Dean and Roy Glenn work really well together. Glenn was one of those unsung character actors that was gold anytime he was cast.

Roy Glenn, who played Burt, was the best actor in this sort film, better than James Dean and Natalie Wood, in my opinion. Sherwood Anderson was a talented writer, and this story on Self Improvement succinctly shows that we all are fools.

Somebody here said Jimmy Dean wouldn’t be remembered as a great actor today, The thing is you’ve got to do is to put it all in context. Look at the actors Dean was working with. He stood out. Twitching and mumbling, and improvising. He did stand out. Maybe he’d be dull by today’s standards…..but in the 50s/early 60s, he was great. Mainly because he broke the confines of “acting” in those days. Lenny Bruce wasn’t a great comedian….but for the times he was doing his act…..he stood out and broke barriers. The first to do that…..like James Dean

i agree, for all his mumbling charlie chaplin-esque shuffling he was a genuine talent as was natalie wood. both hard working pros underneath the 'talent'. i think jimmy wouldve done really interesting things if he had have liv ed longer. mebe not groundbreaking bc he already achieved that, but certainly he wouldve continued to make some fine contributions to the actors trade. rip

This might sound completely insane but I was watching the 1958 sci fy horror movie The Blob and was thinking that if James Dean had live he would have been cast as the lead instead of Steve McQueen also Natalie Wood as his love interest!!! To me I think the writers for the original Blob wanted to make a Rebel Without a Cause vs The Thing sci fy movie!!

Gostei muito de assistir esses filmes de James Dean! Eles foram feitos para a Televisão ou para Cinema? Ou são peças de Teatro? Por que a General Electric participa disso?

@williamsaganov9594 8 дней назад

I don't quite understand the negativity among many comments toward Dean as an actor. He showed a vulnerability on screen that broke new ground. Only Montgomery Clift could parallel it. Brando got credit for" breaking out", but he was just a theatrical Dean at the beginning of his career. If anyone thinks Dean couldn't act - i.e. create convincing characters, consider his REBEL performance w/Natalie Wood. Then look at his character here.. He was an actor's actor. And had he the time, he'd have shown us more depth and diversity through opportunity and experience.

@williamsaganov9594 8 дней назад

Of note: "Theatrical Dean" refers to using bare-bones vulnerability as a tool and echoing it from the stage rafters. It's not about who did what first. Brando was brilliant, but he never conveyed or recognized the strength it took to really show UR ass with no cover or METHOD make-up. Dean never had any fear about what he brought to the screen within his character - within himself.

@user-ki1un4jg2d 6 дней назад

Dean could act the socks off of Brando , in the same way Connie sings the socks off of Streisand .

@williamsaganov9594 6 дней назад

@@user-ki1un4jg2d The comparison I made has to do with the ability and willingness to show complete vulnerability. Regardless, any comparison involves a lifetime of Brando vs a few years of Dean.

You know all these comments about James Dean is just more of people wanting to tear down anythimg and everything. When what they really hate are themselves. Really sad.

@mynameisworld 8 дней назад

I agree. People are just praising James Dean because they've been taught that they are SUPPOSED to like him. People have lost all ability to think for themselves, resulting in the hate they shout when someone points out the straight fact that James Dean was a corpse who couldn't be bothered to open his mouth and made tiny little yawning sounds like a kid being forced to be in a school play.

@auapplemac2441 8 дней назад

The narration lead us through the story. Filled in parts and also told us what the character thought of his youthful actions. It's a story of making wrong choices for the wrong reasons. He was an innocent living in a small town and never exposed to the world's pitfalls. Remember, this was before movies, radio and TV bombarding us 24/7. People growing up in small towns or rural areas had limited exposure to the "outside" world.

@cindydott452 8 дней назад

I know it may be considered a horrible opinion, but I never thought much of James Dean. If he didn't shuffle off so early in his career, I'm convinced people would be saying "James who?"

@mynameisworld 8 дней назад

This video should be shown to every millennial who has been taught to think James Dean was good even though they've never seen one of his movies. With this movie, you don't have to waste an hour and a half of your life. One little half-hour video, and you'll see what garbage he really was. He sounds like he's talking through a gag, and he looks like he's already dead. No emotion or expression at all.
