Turner Classic Movies has released a major DVD boxed set that is comprised of the most complete collection ever assembled of James Dean's television appearances. Here is a list of the contents:
Before East Of Eden (1955), Rebel Without A Cause (1955) and Giant (1956) turned James Dean into an international icon, he honed his craft on television, appearing on such shows as Studio One, Lux Video Theater and Hallmark Hall of Fame—many broadcast live and thought to be lost. This is the most complete collection to date of Dean’s television legacy featuring 19 full episodes, 2 original commercials and 2 clips featuring Dean, all meticulously re-mastered for picture and sound quality from the best available sources.
This box set also includes a commemorative booklet featuring a comprehensive essay focusing on the actor’s personal life and television career, and featuring rare stills, episode credits and descriptions.
Bonus Material
- The documentary Fairmount Today, exploring Dean’s hometown in Indiana
- Episode introductions by James Dean’s cousin, Marcus Winslow, Jr., head of the Dean Estate
- 3 photo galleries from world famous photographers Roy Schatt, Frank Worth and Sanford Roth
- A video demonstration illustrating the restoration and preservation process
