“East of Eden” (Warner Bros., 1955). Original British lobby card with a photo of James Dean as Caleb Trask and Lois Smith in her film debut as barmaid, Anne.

Directed by Elia Kazan, “East of Eden” is loosely based on the fourth and final part of the 1952 novel of the same name by John Steinbeck. It is about a wayward young man, Cal (James Dean), who, while seeking his own identity, vies for the affection of his deeply religious father (Raymond Massey) against his favored brother, Aron (Richard Davalos), thus retelling the story of Cain and Abel.
