About

In 1917 California, Cal Trask competes with his brother Aron for the affection of their religious father, Adam, in Elia Kazan’s Steinbeck adaptation.

In 1917, during World War I, young adult fraternal twins Cal and Aron Trask live in California’s Salinas Valley with their father, Adam Trask, a farmer and draft board chairman. Adam is a deeply religious Christian. Aron is dutiful and responsible, while Cal is moody, impulsive and rebellious, and believes his father loves only Aron. Cal feels he must compete with his brother for their father’s affection. James Dean plays Cal Trask, Richard Davalos plays Aron Trask and Raymond Massey plays Adam Trask. Julie Harris appears as Abra Bacon. Directed by Elia Kazan, the film adapts the fourth part of John Steinbeck’s novel.
