Rebel Without A Cause - James Dean, Digibook and 12 similar items

This is a Brand New, factory sealed DigiBook Edition of the classic REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE starring James Dean. It's the original DigiBook Edition released by Warner Brothers and comes in its original case, still factory sealed. Director Nicholas Ray's classic drama about juvenile delinquents starring James Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo. The storyline takes place over a 24-hour period and follows Jim Stark (Dean), a restless teenager always in trouble with the law. His mother smothers him, while his father is weak and ineffectual and the family has only recently moved to Los Angeles to try and save Jim from a life of crime. However, when Jim is picked up for being drunk and disorderly he notices Judy (Wood) at the police station and determines to ask her on a date at high school the next day. This leads him into conflict with Judy's boyfriend, Buzz (Corey Allen). He is determined to prove himself with his new-found 'friends' by taking part in switchblade fights and a 'chickie' game where cars race to the edge of a seaside cliff. The film was nominated for three Oscars, including nods for Wood and Mineo. Supplements: Warner Brothers have done a fantastic job with the extras. This film is housed in a Digibook style case with 46-page booklet. It offers great notes about the production and various other factoids about the cast and crew. It even tosses in a few nice retro images as well. The cover art is simple and classy. Also contains: Audio Commentary ? Douglas L. Rathgeb provides a very nice track that provides some great notes. Sometimes he simply narrates what?s happening on screen, but overall it?s worth a listen. James Dean Remembered ? This clocks in just over an hour and offers some very insightful interviews with Natalie Wood, Sammy Davis Jr. and Sal Mineo to name a few. It is hosted by Peter Lawford. It?s very worth watching. Screen Tests ? We see tests for Dean, Mineo and Wood. Wardrobe Tests ? Offer just that Deleted Scenes ? There are several here, some in color and some in Black White. I will say these are fun to see. ?See? is about all you can do since there?s no audio, which is a shame. Rebel Without a Cause: Defiant Innocents ? This is another lengthy behind the scenes look at the production of Rebel. Dennis Hopper: Memories from the Warner Lot ? This is the one new feature on this disc. Dennis Hopper sits down and offers some nice anecdotes about working with James Dean and working on Rebel and Giant. Behind the Cameras ? These offer several short promos featuring Dean, Wood and Jim Backus. Theatrical Trailer Digibook ? Features a 40 page booklet with some production photos and notes about the film.
