Starring James Dean, Julie Harris, Raymond Massey

This 20th-century version of the Cain and Abel theme set in the Californian farmlands made James Dean a 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 family relationships.

Starring David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles
Thomas is well off, famous and handsome; he is also disillusioned with his glib success as a top fashion photographer. But then his glamorous world is shattered when he apparently witnesses - and photographs - a murder. Antonioni's view of the 'swinging' London scene of the 1960s has long been considered one of the most hypnotic and controversial films made in Britain.
