This is a special documentary movie on the life of one of Hollywood’s greatest legends - as told by his relatives, friends and fellow actors. The presence of James Dean in this film has been made possible by the use of existing motion picture material, tape recordings of his voice and by means of dynamic exploration of still photographs.
