Saw this as part of the TCM"s tribute to James Dean Live performances. I thought he was really outstanding in this particular teleplay. This should have gotten him an Emmy nomination (I don't think they had the single dramatic actor/actress category then). This one reminds me of his acting on his features films.
exactly. the surprise for me was he saying when he first moved to new york he was overwhelmed by the city and would spend hours watching movies on the cinema near his hotel room. now imagine how did he manage to star in so much productions without having major health problems? because he clearly was a pretty sensitive soul we can tell so how in hell did he do to not fall apart all that time
I feel so emotional whenever I watch clips of Jimmy. He had so much potential as an actor! I think he would be proud to know that 60+ years after his death, people still watch and admire his work 👏🏻
He had it! James Dean had an acting style that only he possessed. There has never EVER been another like him. That's why he still lives on today. Missing you always, James Dean!!!
Most of Dean's TV work was done in his early struggling New York days,but he was working more than you could say of alot of actors in New York , alot or actors then we're regimented , basically all the same,then this guy comes on way way ahead of his time and bang,people noticed his extraordinary talent,he was so dam real,he studied people 24 hours,taking their mannerisms for a part,he just walked around doing this in coffee shops,in the Street, anywhere, don't forget thes productions were done live, in three days, and Dean's work was really quite astounding, nobody like him then or now,he became the character ,threw a few actors because they never new what he would do, the director's often said it looks ms good from in here ,they had a screen showing them whats happening while the actors performed, this was biang transmitted live I must stress this with limited rehearsal, Dean was so loose in his acting that you would think the scenes are real, which is what he was aiming for in every scene,it's no mistake that he went on to greater things, films for example in a very short time he was snapped up very quickly, because he was serious, acting was his life,and he studied all the time,that was the secret to James Dean.
@Roger Martin he looked up to Brando and clift, he once told dennis hopper " I'm brando saying fuck you in one hand and in the other I say I apologize I'm monty clift and in the middle is james dean". His acting I believe was purely his, yes he had elements of Brando and clift but they weren't as vulnerable as he was considering his upbringing and I believe that vulnerability brought out more in his acting. That being said the 3 greatest method actors of that era
James Dean was a passionate actor who put his heart and soul into his craft. He made a huge impact in this world. He will never be forgotten. He'll always be in our hearts 💞🌹
This sure shows that James Dean could show every emotion there is in life with very little effort, just so natural. His laughter was so sweet to hear and his face would light up when he did laugh. He draws you in so easily. Wish I could have known him. R.I.P. James Dean
Comparing him to any other actor is an insult. And comparing any other actor to him is a insult. Loved him when I seen East of Eden. I'm just a big James Dean fan. He was ahead of his time. R.I.P James Dean.😢
James Byron Dean is my favorite classic actor, who in there movies and tv shows. My favorite classic movie is ... Rebel without a cause - 1955 -1931 By : James Zheng Huai, Jr.
Wow. I have waited literally 30+ years to find other footage of James Dean acting and thanks to You Tube, here they are. What a gift. Nice to see something besides his 3 major films with his work. I had heard of these TV appearances of his in New York in '53-early'55 for years and read about them, but I never thought that I would get to see them. He was simply the best that ever lived, in my opinion. You just can't take your eyes off of him when he is on the screen and he steals every scene, even from greats like Rock Hudson. God, I wish that he had lived longer. Gone way too soon. Thank you for posting this..
Patrick Couch I'm very pleased to find all this too. I've seen 2 of his 3 movies and I think one TV show, but that's it. I didn't even know these existed. I was looking up Rod Serling and stumbled upon all this, I am very excited to start watching! I'm glad to see I'm not the only person these days that loves old school actors when those on television and the big screen actually had talent (not that there aren't some really good ones out there today, but back then, that was the time). I don't know if you know about this show or not, has nothing to do with James Dean, but David Janssen (well known for the Fugitive) had a previous show before his Dr Kimble days as Richard Diamond, Private Detective and it's my all time favorite television program. Unfortunately there were only 66 episodes I believe and I ran through them in no time flat, but check it out if you haven't already. I love that show. I made a playlist with all the episodes of you can't find one. There used to be 9ne,but then I think the person deleted it, so I made one. Enjoy........
James Dean, the difference between him and actor's today ,he was very intelligent! He loved his country , he didn't mind being in shows that had faith, in them. He knew the Bible, and he went to church. He was an amazing person of character.
I had no idea he did this many live TV shows .. in any case THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DOWNLOAD! I wish someone somewhere would restore these b 4 they are lost it's too classic to important to have this poor quality in 2024
Jimmy studied people, his mother was known in the family for her ability to mimic others actions/mannerisms and talking and so Jimmy learned from her. Both Jimmy and I, he on his mother's side and I on my mothers side are related and are cousins from the same family of Wilson's that still to this day live up around the same place in Indiana. Long before I'd gotten into the Ancestry website and tracing back my family line I admired James Dean, had posters of him up and so it was a shock to me to find we were related and from the same Wilson clan. I always thought it was interesting that out of all of them in our family he and I were the only ones that needed glasses as kids and were incredibly nearsighted. RIP cousin Jimmy, I would have loved to have gotten to know you but you are loved and remembered not just by family but by people all over the world. You continue to touch lives and your art lives on inspiring others, which is what you had always hoped for. I hope you're up in heaven and reunited with your mother Mildred, and your father Winton. I know due to her cancer and then your father being drafted for WW2 that you guys didn't get long to be a real family but I hope that has changed in the afterlife, you're all remembered and loved. Our family up in Indiana still tell tales about how you raced around on your little Czech motorcycle you painted up black and yellow like a hornet. I'm honored that the same bloodline flows thru my veins as did thru yours, as you are a beautiful soul inside and out; shine bright like the brilliant star you always were!
You have to remember when this TV movie came out only about 44% of American homes had a TV set, and people had other activities that kept them from watching TV, unlike today.
Wow, this was Great ! The acting was perfect.. James Dean is Great, just his 5 years of acting, this man was talented ... I wonder if He could have stay longer ... #DieYoung
Its amazing these were live performances. James did several of these every week. Amazing short term memory, I'm truly impressed. Wished I had that kind of memory.
James dean a actor like no other a superb actor who cud have achieved so much more had he not died so young a shining star now shines in heaven God bless you Jimmy dean xx rest n sleep well young man
Wow, this was sure a tribute to his acting. He was great in everything he did and was going to be a real top actor, when we lost him too soon. Thank you for this TV show. It was wonderful R.I.P. James Dean
I hope one day they will bring James Dean back to life, with CGI they could do it now we have the technology. I think it would be very interesting for all of his die hard fans. I just love him, he was so very talented. I read that he would sleep on his mother's headstone at night when he missed her.
+stardustgirl I love him too. But a CGI avatar would be in bad taste. It wouldn't be the real man. Just basically a picture with whatever programming the creator wanted. I understand what you mean though. It would be amazing to have him back. But it wouldn't have any of the things that made Dean such a great artist. Those things now only exist on celluloid and the handful of videotaped live TV dramas like this one. Great work for a guy who made 3 movies in a year and didn't live to see 25. Only one film had been released when he died. He was largely an unknown up-and-coming actor. Thankfully there were some people working in New York that wanted to make use of the new videotape machines the networks had acquired. If they hadn't then these TV dramas would never have been seen again after their first airing.
Sixty-six years ago, this was what the Golden Age of Television looked like- theatre, via a Cathode Ray Tube, containing low clarity lenses, poor sound quality, with the live performances of novice and veteran actors, all caught and preserved on a classic B&W Kinescope. This is James Dean at his raw and spontaneous best- a thin, struggling NYC Thespian playing- as usual- a psychopathic, troubled youth, looking for his father's approval. Though his Hollywood films were in color- something that left him looking more "contemporary"- NBC television captures more of the dated quality of the time period from which he emerged, and from which he was never to escape, the 1950's. A strange and foreign time, a time that I myself can remember in my early childhood just a decade later, but barely. Images in this work seem truly eerie. The fact that Rod Serling wrote this teledrama, does not make things any smoother. There are elements of his surreal, more famous program in Dean's lines, particularly the part when he talks about "Johnny", a mysterious, invisible pal who would call him ("Joey! ...") from the street during the early hours of the morning. This person seems to be almost like a ghost; more a representation of an innocent childhood lost, rather than of a real person, or even a sinister Angel of Death, who in the end, woos him to the window of his bedroom, where he is greeted by an array of bullets. In any case, this download, though at times melodramatic, is an excellent hour of American history, depicting both a by-gone era and one still vital, with its true-to-life characterizations of broken-hearted fathers, delinquent sons, weary wives, country homes, kind neighbors, war heroes, poetic children, disillusioned cops- and Rabbinical "Poppa Goldens", complete with coffee, sandwiches and cigarettes.
@@jpaley550 Thank you so much for your compliment. I appreciate your understanding of the points made and of your enjoyment of Classic Teleplays- so nostalgic, but yes- so timeless.
@@moniquethomas3610 Ur most welcome!...I have a Screenplay I've written recently that includes both this Live T.V. Golden Age AND characters in the present/past that interact with each other...it was a magical time back then...Best 2U!
I THINK IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED THAT ANYONE IN ACTING COLLEGE WATCH ALL OF HIS FILMS. Ya might learn a method that has been forgotten by the new actors of today. #noheart #nosoul
It's amazing to realize that Rod Serling wrote this! The first thing I think of when I think of Rod Serling is The Twilight Zone. I knew he wrote other things, but didn't realize his career started somearly and that Serling actually wanted Dean for the role. I thought Dean had already passed away by the time Serling `s career beg. Wow..these two geniuses actually knew of each other!
Like Dean, Serling broke through in 1955 with the teleplay PATTERNS....that is on UA-cam as well Fun Fact: The first words of dialogue are spoken by Elizabeth Montgomery
80년대까지 한국 영화는 동시녹음 된 음성을 삽입하는 형식으로 인물의 대사와 모션을 대체했는데 그 보다 더 오래된 시기에 제작된 흑백 영화에서 따로 녹음을 해서 삽입하지 않고 대사와 행동에 대한 소리를 담아낼 수 있는 영상 기술이 새삼 빠르게 발달했다고 생각했습니다. 제가 제임스딘이 왕성히 활동을 했던 당시에 태어나지 않아서 그와 함께한 추억은 없지만 영화와 각종 예술극단에서 촬영한 자료를 4k로 제작 복원한 영상의 경로를 알게 해준 자료원의 노고에 사의를 표하고 싶네요. 후대들에게 한없이 서글프게 느껴지는 주인공의 삶은 단순히 한 인물의 생에만 해당하는 것이 아닌 이 영화가 제작될 당시의 민족들의 삶 전체가 그러했겠죠. 1950년 십 대 청소년들을 대변했던 그는 아직도 각종 예술방송에서 언급되어 회자되고 마치 우리들 곁에서 숨을 쉬는듯이 오랫동안 각인된 그의 거칠지만 매력적인 언사들을 소생시켜주기도 합니다.
I walked into a frickin restaurant once and this cute waitress came up to me with a big smile on her face ( I'm with my girlfriend at the time) she asked me , Do you know that you look like James Dean? ......I said ; Well , thanks. 😅
Cuando un hombre confunde sus intereses, se pierde y no Hay nada que temer, porque el amor viene al rescate. Solo a los sabios, sirve la soledad; porque pueden comprenderla; la soledad y el amor...
Marlon Brando, habla de Dean en su autobiografía, y dice que el cree que estaba empezando a ser un gran actor cuando hizo Gigante, pero yo creo que James era un grande desde sus comienzos porque era pura energía interpretativa, y por supuesto la sensación que tengo es que Brando estaba un poco celoso del pequeño BASTARDO, LOL ...👍
These teleplays were filmed live as if you were really at the theater. My favorite Dean film is "East of Eden" and I see much of the same method acting style and Dean's characterization that foreshadows Cal. I can only imagine how unnerving it was for these actors to work in this type of medium. The play really starts out slowly & doesn't really hold my interest until Joe and his father (Ted Osborne) blow up at each other & collapse into each other's arms. I have to agree that Dean and Barbie (Naomi Riordan) really don't have any chemistry. Maybe this was her "off" night because she just seems listless throughout the whole performance. As with all live theater, sometimes the performances really come together and the show is wonderful...and other times they don't. The play in itself is not all that interesting and the actors can only do the best they can with the script. I really like James Dean and appreciate you posting his years before movies brought him to the forefront of a new generation.
not understanding english 100% now is hitting different. with interviews and films from 21st century is something now 90's prior is quite impossible to catchup everything. does anybody know if there are subtitles available somewhere even in english?
James Dean avait du talent, mieux que ça : Il vivait ses rôles, Jusq'ou serait t'il allée sans ce dramatique accident ?. De plus c'était un pilote de course douer, il aurait pus devenir un grand champion. En regardant des documentaires sur luis, j'éprouve de la tristesse et je trouve que c'est un lamentable gâchis. James Dean, le temps passe mais le souvenir reste 🕊️🕊️🕊️. Reposez en paix 🌟🌟🌟.

This should have gotten him an Emmy nomination (I don't think they had the single dramatic actor/actress category then). This one reminds me of his acting on his features films.
He had to eat and pay rent.
James Dean was a workaholic. In just five years, he has starred in some 37 productions for TV, made theater and films.
exactly. the surprise for me was he saying when he first moved to new york he was overwhelmed by the city and would spend hours watching movies on the cinema near his hotel room. now imagine how did he manage to star in so much productions without having major health problems? because he clearly was a pretty sensitive soul we can tell so how in hell did he do to not fall apart all that time
@@faethraziel I never knew , great short stories!👍
Interesting factoid: Dean only lived for exactly 9,000 days. Imagine all those accomplishments in that short a time on this planet.
He is a Legend for a reason
@@faethraziel I believe he did fall apart.
Jimmy Dean was not only an excellent actor, he represents real people in his roles.
I feel so emotional whenever I watch clips of Jimmy. He had so much potential as an actor! I think he would be proud to know that 60+ years after his death, people still watch and admire his work 👏🏻
@Susan Kelly Living the part...
He had it! James Dean had an acting style that only he possessed. There has never EVER been another like him. That's why he still lives on today. Missing you always, James Dean!!!
Too bad that this kind of TV is not seen today. IMHO

Well said
Sir How do you about all this?
I'm told or have been told that I look like J.B.D.😊
Jimmy's acting style is way beyond his time. It's like watching him act from another generation.
Roger Martin I heard from many different sources that James Dean and Marlon Brando were an item, I don’t know how true that was
Better than Marlon
@Roger Martin he looked up to Brando and clift, he once told dennis hopper " I'm brando saying fuck you in one hand and in the other I say I apologize I'm monty clift and in the middle is james dean". His acting I believe was purely his, yes he had elements of Brando and clift but they weren't as vulnerable as he was considering his upbringing and I believe that vulnerability brought out more in his acting. That being said the 3 greatest method actors of that era
@Roger Martin brando copied him
@Roger Martin You don't know what you're talking about.
James Dean was a terrific actor... his skill on full display in this play.
Legends never die……
Damn, he just takes over every scene. Just look at the way he flails around with the spoon right at the begging. That's not scripted.
Mike Jones Wow, I noticed that too and for some reason I was mesmerized by that. He really was a true actor.
James Dean was a passionate actor who put his heart and soul into his craft. He made a huge impact in this world. He will never be forgotten. He'll always be in our hearts 💞🌹
He was such a good actor, no one does it like Jimmy.
He was the most natural actor I have ever seen in his tender moments. Awesome guy that should have stayed on stage.
This sure shows that James Dean could show every emotion there is in life with very little effort, just so natural. His laughter was so sweet to hear and his face would light up when he did laugh. He draws you in so easily. Wish I could have known him.
R.I.P. James Dean
Dean plays a damn good sociopath.
He nailed it. Every time.
The best actor ever existed
Comparing him to any other actor is an insult.
And comparing any other actor to him is a insult.
Loved him when I seen East of Eden.
I'm just a big James Dean fan.
He was ahead of his time.

Great actor thank for sharing this video love his movies he was my favorite actor back in my days
I tend to forget how “primitive” early tv was, esp. the commercials!
Great Singer 👍🏼 LoL,, James makes me laugh 🤔😲🌹💜💜
amazing and outstanding acting from james like always.
Wow, this was sure a tribute to his acting. He was great in everything he did and was going to be a real top actor, when we lost him too soon. Thank you for this TV show. It was wonderful R.I.P. James Dean
Sincere condolences. May he rest in peace 🙏...
I see his rebel without a cause character in this episode, and his East of Eden character especially when he’s dealing with his dad
this is a important post. just saw some shows on tcm. thats one good station as well.
He was always running away in many films and productions., cause he would say he was misunderstood.
I hope one day they will bring James Dean back to life, with CGI they could do it now we have the technology. I think it would be very interesting for all of his die hard fans.

They’re using a cgi Jimmy in an upcoming war film... I personally don’t agree with it but 🤷♀️

Ahead of Our Time. In Terms of Compassion For the Perp.
I THINK IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED THAT ANYONE IN ACTING COLLEGE WATCH ALL OF HIS FILMS. Ya might learn a method that has been forgotten by the new actors of today. #noheart #nosoul
He’s not acting he’s just being himself
It's amazing to realize that Rod Serling wrote this! The first thing I think of when I think of Rod Serling is The Twilight Zone. I knew he wrote other things, but didn't realize his career started somearly and that Serling actually wanted Dean for the role. I thought Dean had already passed away by the time Serling `s career beg. Wow..these two geniuses actually knew of each other!
Like Dean, Serling broke through in 1955 with the teleplay PATTERNS....that is on UA-cam as well
Fun Fact: The first words of dialogue are spoken by Elizabeth Montgomery
Great writing and great acting.
you have no idea how happy i am thank you for uploading
Rod was the best ever
80년대까지 한국 영화는 동시녹음 된 음성을 삽입하는 형식으로 인물의 대사와 모션을 대체했는데 그 보다 더 오래된 시기에 제작된 흑백 영화에서 따로 녹음을 해서 삽입하지 않고 대사와 행동에 대한 소리를 담아낼 수 있는 영상 기술이 새삼 빠르게 발달했다고 생각했습니다. 제가 제임스딘이 왕성히 활동을 했던 당시에 태어나지 않아서 그와 함께한 추억은 없지만 영화와 각종 예술극단에서 촬영한 자료를 4k로 제작 복원한 영상의 경로를 알게 해준 자료원의 노고에 사의를 표하고 싶네요. 후대들에게 한없이 서글프게 느껴지는 주인공의 삶은 단순히 한 인물의 생에만 해당하는 것이 아닌 이 영화가 제작될 당시의 민족들의 삶 전체가 그러했겠죠. 1950년 십 대 청소년들을 대변했던 그는 아직도 각종 예술방송에서 언급되어 회자되고 마치 우리들 곁에서 숨을 쉬는듯이 오랫동안 각인된 그의 거칠지만 매력적인 언사들을 소생시켜주기도 합니다.
I walked into a frickin restaurant once and this cute waitress came up to me with a big smile on her face ( I'm with my girlfriend at the time) she asked me , Do you know that you look like James Dean? ......I said ; Well , thanks. 😅
This is what got him the role in Rebel without a cause
He knew how to take his pain and use it in an acting scene, that's why everything he did seemed real.
Cuando un hombre confunde
sus intereses, se pierde y no
Hay nada que temer, porque
el amor viene al rescate.
Solo a los sabios, sirve la
soledad; porque pueden
comprenderla; la soledad
y el amor...
Donde hay un hombre solo,
tambien hay una mujer sola...
Thanks a lot for this video
I'm gonna buy me some Kraft after this ! lol
Oh, my sides...
Marlon Brando, habla de Dean en su autobiografía, y dice que el cree que estaba empezando a ser un gran actor cuando hizo Gigante, pero yo creo que James era un grande desde sus comienzos porque era pura energía interpretativa, y por supuesto la sensación que tengo es que Brando estaba un poco celoso del pequeño BASTARDO, LOL ...👍
Brando always claimed that Dean copied his style but I see more Clift than Brando in James.
On one hand he had Marlon saying f-u f-u f-u on the other he had Clift saying help me help help- Dennis Hopper quotes James Dean
True, @ricardocantoral...he was far more enamored with Monty be4 Marlon...
Cool danke
me love you long time.
Amazing. Be good to get a higher quality upload though.
I can't believe he starting so many pre-reble without a cause films shorts or whatever you want to call em...
Yeah, he's so well known for these 3 legendary movies, that it's kinda mindblowing to see him acting on other stuff
James Dean my Speed Queen!!
These teleplays were filmed live as if you were really at the theater. My favorite Dean film is "East of Eden" and I see much of the same method acting style and Dean's characterization that foreshadows Cal. I can only imagine how unnerving it was for these actors to work in this type of medium. The play really starts out slowly & doesn't really hold my interest until Joe and his father (Ted Osborne) blow up at each other & collapse into each other's arms. I have to agree that Dean and Barbie (Naomi Riordan) really don't have any chemistry. Maybe this was her "off" night because she just seems listless throughout the whole performance. As with all live theater, sometimes the performances really come together and the show is wonderful...and other times they don't. The play in itself is not all that interesting and the actors can only do the best they can with the script. I really like James Dean and appreciate you posting his years before movies brought him to the forefront of a new generation.
Thanks so much for uploading this
not understanding english 100% now is hitting different. with interviews and films from 21st century is something now 90's prior is quite impossible to catchup everything. does anybody know if there are subtitles available somewhere even in english?
The Best.
James Dean avait du talent, mieux que ça : Il vivait ses rôles, Jusq'ou serait t'il allée sans ce dramatique accident ?. De plus c'était un pilote de course douer, il aurait pus devenir un grand champion. En regardant des documentaires sur luis, j'éprouve de la tristesse et je trouve que c'est un lamentable gâchis.
James Dean, le temps passe mais le souvenir reste 🕊️🕊️🕊️. Reposez en paix 🌟🌟🌟.
