East of Eden (1955)

This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss "East of Eden". This film is a 1955  American period drama film directed by Elia Kazan, and loosely based on the fourth and final part of the 1952 novel of the same name by John Steinbeck. It is about a wayward young man who, while seeking his own identity, vies for the affection of his deeply religious father against his favored brother, thus retelling the story of Cain and Abel.

The film stars James Dean (in his first major screen role), Julie Harris and Raymond Massey.
