REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE – TCM Big Screen Classics September 23rd and 26th

More than 60 years after it dazzled audiences, Rebel Without a Cause returns to the big screen this September as part of the year-long TCM Big Screen Classics series, accompanied by specially produced commentary before and after the feature by TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz. Rebel Without a Cause set the tone for films exploring teenage angst and rebellion, and remains an iconic classic to this day.

The 1955 movie is a legend for many reasons: Released one month after James Dean’s untimely death, it offered an unadulterated – and unprecedented – look at the ups and downs of suburban teen angst; it featured stunning performances by Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo; and it contained stunning CinemaScope visuals by director Nicholas Ray and cinematographer Ernest Haller. But above all, its story endures: The tragic tale of three teenagers (Dean, Wood, and Mineo) who all suffer from problematic home lives, and act out with devastating, fatal consequences. Rebel Without a Cause stunned audiences with its realistic version of the American teenager, from heartrending moments between Jim and his neglectful father (Jim Backus), to the classic knife fight against the backdrop of Griffith Observatory, Rebel Without a Cause is as memorable as it poignant, showcasing the ripples that occur as the result of a broken family.
