Irving Shulman, who adapted Nicholas Ray's initial film story into the screenplay, had considered changing the name of James Dean's character to Herman Deville, according to Jurgen Miller's " Movies of the ' 50s ".
He had also originally written a number of scenes that were shot and later cut from the final version of the film.
According to an AFI interview with Stewart Stern, with whom Shulman worked on the screenplay, one of the scenes was thought to be too emotionally provocative to be included in the final print of the film.
It portrayed the character of Jim Stark inebriated to the point of belligerence screaming at a car in the parking lot, " It's a little jeep jeep!
Little jeep, jeep!
" The scene was considered unproductive to the story's progression by head editor William H. Ziegler and ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor.
In 2006, members of the Lincoln Film Society petitioned to have the scene printed and archived for historical preservation.
