This is quite a remarkable made for TV film about the intense, fast and tragically short life of the master of method acting; James Dean.

James Franco plays Dean so convincingly that at times it is easy to forget that this is not James Dean himself.

Bio films always take a little licence with actual facts and events and no doubt this is true here.

Overall Franco reveals his own, quite stunning and at times, moving, acting ability and it is easy to see why he is now achieving great things.

As a film `James Dean` is outstanding entertainment and I think even the man himself would be proud.

One thing which needs to be noted is that in real life Winton Dean (James` father) was not the unfeeling, uncaring man portrayed but did indeed care greatly for his son. Winton had to sell everything including his car in order to pay the medical bills when James` mother was dying and felt that young James had a better chance living with his uncle on his farm. In fact in James` letters to his father after he had remarried to Ethal they started with `Dad and Mom`. Winton also sent James money when he could. Not touched on here was the fact that Winton was also drafted during the war and went to see James when he could whilst in service. Winton was disappointed in his son`s early interest in the arts as to him it was not a manly interest, but the evidence is that Winton loved James dearly.
