Product Description

Amazon.ca

Bringing to the life the bestselling novel by Nobel Prize winning author John Steinbeck, this TV adaptation faithfully follows the history of the Trask family from the Civil War to World War II. A recreation of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, East of Eden follows estranged half-brothers Adam and Charles (Timothy Bottoms and Bruce Boxleitner) as they reunite after the death of their father, Cyrus (Warren Oates). They live together on their father’s land, constantly quarreling, when they meet the manipulative and beautiful Cathy Ames (Jane Seymour), a prostitute with a dark past. The theme of good versus evil runs rampant throughout and entangles itself in the Trask family legacy through each generation. Jane Seymour’s brilliant portrayal of Cathy through three decades, from young runaway to aging mother, earned her a Golden Globe. Fans of Steinbeck and Seymour alike will be pleased with this retelling which won an Emmy for best art direction and Golden Globe for best miniseries. This three-disc set features a biography on John Steinbeck, exclusive interview with Jane Seymour, and cast filmographies. --Amanda Faddis

5.0 out of 5 stars East of Eden - Made for TV version April 8 2013
By Nancy Cada
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I spent years looking for this made for TV movie. I really like the series when it aired in the 80's and never forgot about it. I had been searching for quite some time. I was so happy to find it. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie once again. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Grapths of Wrath Jun 19 2003
By pamelajsico
I never thought I would read a better book than the Grapes of Wrath, then I read East of Eden. I immediately ran out to get the movie and was so disappointed. Then I saw the mini-series and it was wonderful. Usually, these made for TV things don't work, but I have been trying to find it for years and was thrilled that it mimicked the book almost perfectly. The movie is haunting, beautifully done, and something that you will never forget. The original movie does absolutely no justice to this novel. This tape will keep you so absorbed, troubled and in tune with what is good and what is evil.

2.0 out of 5 stars East of Eden Mar 30 2009
By Violet Luciak
Format:DVD
The video transfer is awefull - I was surprised they even bothered to have it done - I did not watch more than 30 mins of the first DVD to realize just how bad the video transfer was. I can't wait to dump the set.
