Content

The landmark 1955 Warner Bros. coming-of-age drama and one of the most iconic films in Hollywood history. James Dean stars as Jim Stark, a troubled teenager struggling with parental misunderstanding, social alienation, and the violent peer culture of 1950s suburban America. Alongside Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, Dean defined a generation's sense of youth rebellion in what became his most celebrated role — released posthumously following his death on September 30, 1955. Directed by Nicholas Ray.

The inner liner insert includes an extensive Japanese essay on the film's production history, cultural significance, and Dean's legendary status, with detailed discussion of the supporting cast including Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and Dennis Hopper.
