They're all strong films, says I, though I'd say Giant's a distant third. Regarding Eden, I consider it one of Kazan's finest works- probably the best expression of his interest in alienation and generational conflict, a film that undoubtedly reduces the scope of Steinbeck's novel but captures its pulse. Also, I have…

Few films are. Being the second best James Dean movie isn't exactly a strike against it.
