East of Eden. 1955 with Raymond Massey, J. Harris Dean, Burl Ives, directed by Elia Kazan. James Dean's best performance in which his capacity for portraying a rebel youth is fully used, unlike the more acclaimed Rebel Without a Cause, which was a spinoff of Brando's prototypical 50's motiveless wandervogel in The Wild One. Set on John Steinbeck's 30's Northern California farmland, Kazan strips the Nobel Prize winner's story of all its forced Biblical parallels. And in focussing the story upon the character played by Dean he creates the sort of lean, energetic, powerfully...

...trying to square accounts with the network concerning another property: an ABC collaboration with Paramount Pictures on Holly Golightly, a TV pilot based on Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's. He always hated the movie version ("a mawkish valentine to Audrey Hepburn") and predicts that a TV spinoff, starring Stefanie Powers (The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.) will be even more "jerky." The fact that highly seasoned producing and writing talent is at work on the show fails to moderate Capote's opinion. He insists that he will not stand for the TV version "if they give...
...full of rocking chairs, but Griffith assured him that "all I had to do was act like one of those fellows down home who sit around the gas pump reading comic books." Shucks, that was easy, and Nabors soon became a regular on the show. Gomer, naturally, was a spinoff. No Belchfire. Though he will make $500,000 this year, Nabors is hardly the type to go Hollywood. His fans like to think of him as "jes folks," and he knows on which side his cornbread is buttered. He lives alone in a sixroom house in unchic Studio City with...
