The James Dean Story
The real story of the most talked-about star of our time!
Directed by Robert Altman, George W. George
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A poignant, intimate portrait of a young star's brief life assembled from photographs, interviews, and archival footage, suffused with melancholy awareness of his early death.
Released two years after James Dean's death, this documentary chronicles his short life and career via black-and-white still photographs, interviews with the aunt and uncle who raised him, his paternal grandparents, a New York City cabdriver friend, the owner of his favorite Los Angeles restaurant, outtakes from East of Eden, footage of the opening night of Giant, and Dean's ironic PSA for safe driving.
