Long Day's Journey Into Night (Film)
Sidney Lumet's film of Eugene O'Neill's classic play is a who's who of the screen. Ralph Richardson plays James Tyrone, a once great actor who has allowed his talent to fade, while Oscar-nominated Katharine Hepburn, in what was her first screen role for three years, plays his morphine-addicted wife. Jason Robards Jr plays Jamie, their drunken womanising son, while Dean Stockwell plays Edmund, the weaker youngest son, who is based on O'Neill himself. The action takes place over one long night as a gathering reveals the secrets illuminating the individual and collective plights of a once proud family.
