Review of East of Eden (1955) by Martin T — 01 Oct 2009
The examination of good and bad is surprisingly complex, as are the characters. The exception to this is Adra, a character too uniformly perfect to be easily digestible, and in typical Hollywood leading lady fashion is often shot through a soft, glowing haze.
The cockeyed angles during the home scenes with the father were a bit much, too. But I liked everything else. Excellent dialogue, including a mighty fine monologue by Van Fleet.
