Rebel Without a Cause**
(US 1955)
Los Angeles teenagers get themselves into trouble in spite of their relatively wealthy upbringing.
It all seems rather phoney and artificial as melodrama now, but this vividly photographed study of affluent teenage rebelliousness caught the mood of a generation just at the tip of the Rock 'n' Roll era, daring to take the risk of depicting its adults not as disciplinarians but merely ineffective. The death of its star that same year helped to enshrine him in this role.
Written by: Stewart Stern.
Producer: David Weisbart.
Director: Nicholas Ray.
Starring: James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, Jim Backus, Ann Doran, Corey Allen, Dennis Hopper, Edward Platt, Ian Wolfe, William Hopper, Rochelle Hudson.
Photography: Ernest Haller.
Music: Leonard Rosenman.
