He was told of a book, written by a prison psychologist and owned by Warner Bros., called \u003ci\u003eRebel Without a Cause.\u003c\/i\u003e Though he was initially unimpressed, Ray adapted the book into his own screenplay and Warner Bros. hired him to direct what would become a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From the backgrounds of the many players to the pre-production, production, and post-production of the film, this complete history recounts every aspect of \u003ci\u003eRebel Without a Cause\u003c\/i\u003e from its rudiments to the 1955 Academy Awards: the selection of cast and crew, legal fights, changing screenwriters and the many variations of the story, location scouting, auditions, script readings, difficulties with the censors, romances and fights, the editing, test screenings, and, of course, the death of its star. Dozens of intimate anecdotes, from wardrobe decisions to James Dean's pranks, add rich detail. An epilogue discusses the possible sequels, rights conflicts, documentaries, musicals, and spin-off attempts, and offers concluding words on the cast and crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas L.
