  • "Adam and Charles Trask grow up in the shadow of their father, Cyrus. Cyrus prefers Adam, inciting jealousy in his younger son. Adam is signed up for the cavalry, while Charles works on the family farm. Reuniting years later, the brothers live in peace until a beautiful woman nearly beaten to death arrives on their front porch. Adam nurses her back to health and falls blindly in love. But Cathy hides a cruel past. Adam and Cathy marry and have twin boys. Cathy soon deserts the family, showing up later as "Kate," the madam of an upscale brothel. Adam's sons have a relationship that mirrors his own. Adam's business venture fails and depletes the family fortune. One son seeks out his mother, who has been long assumed dead."@en
  • ""An all-star cast brings vividly to life Steinbeck's novel about the rivalry between two brothers for the affection of their father. Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck considered East of Eden his quintessential novel. This sumptuous 1981 production brings Steinbecks bestseller to the screen more fully and faithfully than any other adaptation. Sweeping from Connecticut to California and from the Civil War to World War I, it follows three generations of the tumultuous Trask family. Through these mens lives slithers Cathy (Jane Seymour) a she-serpent who holds their love and enmity. This saga explores the nature of good and evil, the origin of sin, and the hope of reconciliation. In its ambitious themes, pervasive Biblical allusions and abiding reverence for the land, East of Eden stands as a timeless American Epic.""
