Long Day's Journey Into Night

Eugene O'Neill's magnificent autobiographical account of his turbulent family life is brought to the screen with an overpowering wealth of talent. Katharine Hepburn as the mother - lonely, ravaged by narcotics and frightened by a world with which she cannot cope. Ralp Richardson as the alcoholic father, a miser embittered by his expired career. Jason Robards as the tortured older brother, a failure to everyone including himself. And Dean Stockwell as the budding writer, struggling with his craft... and a family that exists in name only.Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play became one of the most honored motion pictures ever produced.
