A milestone in the creation of new idea about young people.
There are some excruciating flashes of accuracy and truth in this film...However, we do wish the young actors, including Mr. Dean, had not been so intent on imitating Marlon Brando in varying degrees. The tendency, possibly typical of the behavior of certain youths, may therefore be a subtle commentary but it grows monotonous.
The red-jacketed, Method-pouting James Dean steals every scene, but the ensemble playing is nothing short of exemplary.
