mvie mu-1006416: Elia Kazan's colourful adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel

Thu, 20 Apr 2006 14:38:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidMac - In terms of appearance, East of Eden (1955) is certainly my kind of movie. It's a widescreen melodrama in bright colourful hues. If I were a filmmaker with access to lots of money, I’d shoot every single movie this way, possibly even if the story didn’...

Tue, 15 Jun 2004 04:59:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slippers00 - I saw East Of Eden purely for James Dean's appearance.

mvie mu-1006416: Less than east of eden

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 00:13:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author queena25 - The East of Eden movie was very good, if you judge it without reading the book, and if you've read the book then you realize that there is a huge part missing. I wish that they would have put all of the story from the book into the film, I'm sure that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chapol - This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a drama with little of what you would call action, yet it is a classic unlike any other film I have seen. I saw it on TV several years ago and watch it whenever it is on again.

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 12:19:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author staceyg - This 1955 movie based on the last third of the Steinbeck novel of the same name is a true cinema MASTERPIECE! I'm not just saying that because I am a huge James Dean fan.
