" East of Eden"
as a kind of companion piece,
only, of course, this time it's...
"Magnum", New York.
John Morris.
Hey, John, it's Dennis.
My favourite menace.
Listen, you know Kazan's got
- Kazan...
- Yeah, Elia Kazan. "On the Waterfront".
Oh yeah . Kazan.
I-I never saw it.
Yeah, well, there's this kid
in it, he's interesting.
In "Waterfront"?
No, in, uh, in the new movie.
It's, uh...
from a Steinbeck book.
The kid's name is James Dean.
You heard of him?
Dennis, I am very busy.
What's he been in?
I mean, nothing yet.
But, uh...
starting something special
and I want to get in early,
do a photo-essay on him.
A photo-essay on
an unknown actor.
The way he looks,
the way he acts...
He won't be unknown for long.
You lose me here, Dennis.
Sell it like he's the symbol of the new
movement or something.
A movement? Like, what,
like a political movement?
John, I've been busting my gut doing
red carpets and set stills,
and I finally find what
might be a good story,
and I want to chase it! I want get
it on people's radar.
That's our job radar.
- Just leave that to us.
- Yeah, well, if leave it to you,
I'm going to be doing
this sh*t in ten years.
I've got to push
things along, John.
You're doing good stuff.
You're building your portfolio
one job at a time...
Yours is coming . It's coming.
Yeah, but you get these good jobs
for Elliot Erwood and Ernest Hass.
You know, Hass
had an exhibition.
I want to get an exhibition.
One day, you will have the body
of work for an exhibition.
This is my ticket out of here.
I got to get back to New York.
No one respects
a photographer in LA.
Do you realize how many
prima donnas I deal with every day?
I'm going to hold you directly
responsible if my mind gets poisoned.
OK.
Tell me what his name is, again.
His name is James Dean.
Alright. Who would you
like me to talk to?
I mean, who do you think?
You try "Life".
They'll know who he is.
I'll get back to you.
James Dean.
You know who James Dean is?
So you did theatre arts at UCLA.
You didn't graduate?
Why you asking me questions
you already got the answers to?
Well, I'm just confirming.
Oh, okay, so it's
like a... statement,
not a question.
Yes, I did one semester at UCLA.
But then I decided that acting
was better than studying, so...
here I am.
Like, uh... some people
might think that
writing novels is better than,
you know...
writing about them.
Or something like that.
Do you prefer film to theatre?
I mean, I've done
more theatre than film,
so the jury's still
out on that one.
But you think you'll move in the
general direction of film?
