James Dean's rebellious behavior started with the press luncheon announcing the start of production. Not only did he arrive late, but when a photographer asked him to remove his glasses, he responded by putting a set of clip-on sunglasses over them. He also refused to take a bow when producer and director George Stevens introduced him. Later, he tried to rationalize his behavior by claiming he had come directly from the set of Gioventù bruciata (1955) and was concerned about being seen unshaven and tired. In fact, he had finished work on the movie the night before and was exhausted. With the earlier filming running over schedule, he was shooting wardrobe and make-up tests for this movie while finishing Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and did not get a promised vacation between the two movies.
