The James Dean film is all about the fourth part of this four part book. And I can understand why because there's so much stuff. So you would have to make a much bigger, epic scale movie than I think Kazan was probably making in the 50s. There was another movie like that Universal was attached to that Jennifer Lawrence was going to star in. That's been stuck in production hell apparently forever and nobody knows anything about it.
After 488 episodes, we finally return to ol' Johnny Steinbeck. East of Eden mixes autobiography, pastoral fiction, and Biblical allegory -- a cocktail that has dismayed critics and excited audiences for decades. We dig into what works in this sprawling story and what might leave some readers wanting more.
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
