The James Dean Story

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The James Dean Story is a 1957 American documentary.

Released two years after Dean's death, the Warner Bros. Pictures release chronicles his short life and career via black-and-white still photographs, interviews with the aunt and uncle who raised him, his fraternal grandparents, a New York City cabdriver friend, and the owner of his favorite Los Angeles restaurant, and outakes from East of Eden, footage of the opening night of Giant, and Dean's ironic PSA for safe driving.

Martin Gabel's narration was written by Stewart Stern, who scripted Dean's Rebel Without a Cause, and a directing credit was shared by Robert Altman and George W. George.

The film is available on DVD.
