Extremely well acted filmed version of the Eugene O'Neill play. The problem is that there is so much going on and so much character drama that it is a little draining. It's like Magnolia if it was still three hours and happened at one house. Jason Robards is fantastic and I loved... read more

It's so engrossing but EXHAUSTING to watch. It's good but I probably wouldn't watch it again because it made me so depressed during the entire three hours. Lumet is NO STOPS, man.
Since the film is based on one of the the finest plays ever written, it would have at least been decent, but Sidney Lumet created a near masterpiece. It might be Katharine Hepburn's finest hour dramatically and the rest of the cast is just as equally fantastic.

Classic film version of Eugene O'Neill's masterpiece dealing with family frailties and relationships. Pitch perfect performances by all.
An intense look into the lives of a married couple as a night unravels. Bitingly realistic and harsh, Elizabeth Taylor gives the performance of a lifetime.
Very long and at times tedious, but it's also brilliantly acted and written. Sidney Lumet does a fine job directing, and does amazingly well. Being Eugene O'Neill, it is major depressing. Excessively talky, good sets and costumes.
An adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's legendary play results in a stage-bound production lifted by grand performances, including the delightful Katharine Hepburn. Full Review
