The first of three films starring James Dean who died 30 years ago this month. With Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson.
After a whirlwind romance and marriage to Bick Benedict, the beautiful Leslie heads for Texas, the half-million-acre Benedict Ranch and a new way of life.
This sprawling movie portrait of Texas life, based on Edna Ferber's famous novel, spans three decades of family life and the changing times between the 1930s and the post-war years. Dean plays the key role of Jett, a part he completed only three weeks before his fatal car accident.
(East of Eden is on BBC2 at 10.35 pm)

Namaqualand: Diary of a Desert Garden
In all Africa there is no stranger riddle than the flowering of the land of the Nama. Those bushmen were the first to see their desert land burgeon into a blaze of colour. But this paradise was always short-lived; a spectacular bloom that quickly withered away, not to be seen again for many years. RODNEY BORLAND filmed the most recent of these stupendous and mystifying displays. To a landscape already weird with huge halfmens plants, elephant ears and baboons' fingers, suddenly came vast arrays of nodding daisies and wave upon wave of mesembryanthemums, wild geraniums, gladioli and amaryllis. The landscape was bathed in brilliant hues, a natural garden whose glory may not shine again before the end of this century. Narrator Barry Paine Film editor PETER SIMKINS
Producer CAROLINE WEAVER Series editor PETER JONES BBC Bristol

The second of three films starring James Dean
Tonight with Julie Harris, Raymond Massey

This 20th-century version of the Cain and Abel theme set in the Californian farmlands made James Dean a Hollywood star overnight. He plays Cal, a wild adolescent who discovers that his mother is not dead but is in fact running a brothel in a nearby town. The discovery proves traumatic for Cal and begins the break-up of his strained relationship with his austere father and elder brother, Aron.
