Cal Trask is the "bad" son of taciturn Salinas valley lettuce farmer Adam Trask. Although he means well, Cal can't stay out of trouble, nor is he able to match the esteem in which his father holds his "good" brother Aron. Only Aron's girl friend Abra and kindly old Doctor Sam can see the essential goodness in the troublesome Cal. In an effort to win his father's love, Cal purchases a fresh lettuce crop to replace the ruined beans that threatened to bankrupt his family. But when the stiff-necked Adam discover that Cal borrowed the money from notorious Monterey madam Kate, he rejects the gift. For Adam now realizes that Cal knows that Kate is Cal and Aron's mother, long thought dead. References: East of Eden (1955) (Dragan Antulov) East of Eden (1955) (Tim Dirks) |
