The James Dean Era (DVD/CD)

The cinematic legend of James Dean continues to burn in the hearts of the fallen star’s dedicated fans and film buffs alike. Now his rare talent and dynamic screen presence is showcased in three diverse and compelling TV dramas. I AM A FOOL (1954) Delivering an intimate performance, resonating with vulnerability and honesty, Dean stars alongside his Rebel Without a Cause co-star Natalie Wood. THE UNLIGHTED ROAD (1955) Revealing a darker, conflicted performance as Dean steps into the role of Jeffery Latham, a wandering Korean War veteran whose life changes forever when he steps into a quiet dinner one lonely night. SOMETHING FOR AN EMPTY BRIEFCASE (1953) Thought lost and not seen for over half a century, is Dean at his troubled best. Full of sex appeal, bravado and quiet desperation, the Hollywood icon sets the screen on fire as a rough-neck looking to go straight after one final job. Packed with extra features and truly rare footage, THE JAMES DEAN ERA captures the legend of a young star in his prime, and reminds us of a Hollywood diminished by his untimely death.
