THE PASSING SHOW
Kazan's Wizard Touch
Lights 'East of Eden'
BY JAY CARMODY
"East of Eden,” a John Steinbeck potboiler which became a
best seller, now becomes a motion picture of genuine distinction,
thanks to the magic of Elia Kazan’s direction.
Kazan’s wizard touch, evident in every detail of the film now
at the Metropolitan, stands out in two notable respects. For one of
these, he has thrown away the
first two thirds of Steinbeck’s
fuzzy parable, and for the other
he has found his usually perfect
cast, this one headed by new
comer James Dean apd Julie
Harris.
If “East of Eden” falls short of ’
greatness, and it does, this will i
have to be attributed to the con- i
fusion of Steinbeck’s original I
narrative. That his modern re
telling of the Cain and Abel story
becomes a dramatic appeal for
human understanding is the
work of subsequent hands and
hearts.
The film is Kazan's first in
Cinemascope, or big screen, and
he uses it not merely for some
striking new angles but keeps
his colors keyed low to prevent
distortion of his theme. Its tech
nical aspects are virtues not to
be overlooked in “East of Eden.”
Almost inevitably the other pic
ture makers must learn from
Kazan that movies can be made
more than merely bigger in the
new processes.
** * *
The screen version of "East
of Eden” has much that is dra- j
matic and perceptive to say on
the holier-than-thou cruelty and
blindness in the nature of hu
mans.
It is told, necessarily som
berly, through the anguish of
young Caleb Trask, a baffled boy
in the Salinas (Calif.) vegetable
belt in 1917. Caleb, puzzled that
his righteous, kindly intentioned
father prefers his brother, Aaron,
desperately seeks an explana
tion. He thinks he finds it in
the discovery that his mother is
not dead, but a bad woman who
runs a brothel in neighboring
Monterey.
Now the lad has two things to
rebel against, his father’s harsh
puritanical judgments, and the
even more unjust notion that he
must be like his mother. To
his chagrin, the first intimation
of parental affection he gets
comes from his presumably de
graded mother who lends him
$5,000 to help his bankrupt
father. This financial help, the
boy thinks, will prove his own
love for his father and win the
latter's for him.
** * *
The labyrinth of misunder
standing among the Trasks is
Kazan’s dramatic meat, the kind
on which he feeds to emerge a
constant candidate for academy
awards.
* He has four superb characters
with which to deal here, the
best of these the rejected son
Caleb, played by young Dean.
This is a lad who wants desper
ately to be loved, cannot under
stand why he is not, and is both
reckless and ingenious in his
agonized fight against loneli
ness.
Under Kazan’s direction, Dean
makes the role a brilliant first
performance. He is in complete
control of its every highly
charged moment, the cruel need
to face the truth about his
mother and then to face the
woman herself; the necessity to
love his uncomprehending father
if he is to have a shred of hope
that the emotion will be re
turned; and the lesser, but an
guished problem, of what to do
about his brother’s fiance.
** * *
A young actor confronted by
•uch a complex of desperate
dilemmas needs both force and
delicacy to deal with them. Dean,
under Kazan’s guidance, has no
trouble finding them.
The Trask family’s tragedy of
misunderstanding, set in the
poignant frame of World War I’s
passions, is acted with equal

impact by others In “East of
Eden.”
As the neighbor girl who be
comes the instrument of ultimate
sympathy among the Trasks,
Julie Harris is as inspired a
choice as Dean for the other
principal role. There is complete
conviction in her every tensely
pitched relationship with Father
Adam Trask and his two so Cain
and Abel-like sons, the latter
played by Richard Davalos.
The bitter, disillusioned role
of the mother who fled the lads
in their Infancy is deftly played
by Jo Van Fleet and Raymond
Massey is at his best as the
puritanic father whose benevo
lence becomes so savagely dis
torted.
Burl Ives, Albert Dekker and
Harold Gordon are among the
lesser characters who stand out
in “East of Eden.”
