Rebel Without a Cause

on BBC Two England

starring James Dean who died 30 years ago tomorrow. Dean, the legendary idol of the 1950s, starred in just three feature films.
This work gave him the role with which he is most associated - the troubled and delinquent youth misunderstood by his parents and society. His highly charged performance helped create the cult which has persisted around his name.
