James Dean: Race with Destiny (1997)

James Dean: Race with Destiny (1997). 1h 34m | PG-13

“I bought this movie because I have enjoyed the few films that Casper Van Dien has made. He does a credible job of portraying James Dean. Details of his Hollywood life came out that I had not known at the time of Deanu0026#39;s life (i.e. his relationships with Pier Angeli and Ursula Andress). What proved most discouraging were the u0026quot;terribleu0026quot; Italian accents (particularly from an accomplished actress like Diane Ladd) and from the Mitchum girl. I also found the background music uneven and sometimes so loud the dialog was muted. What might have been a good film came off as pretty amateurish.”
