I would have been interesting had Joanne gotten the part of Abra and Paul Newman the part of Aaron which he also screen tested for as Paul an Joanne were married a few years later :) I think the girl who played the young woman in the bar should have played Abra :)

Julie Harris was great in "East of Eden", but Joanne would also be a good partner to Jim, in the role of Abra.
