Title: Powerful and beautiful film of O'Neill's masterpiece
Review: Under Sidney Lumet's superb direction, Sir Ralph Richardson, Katherine Hepburn, Dean Stockwell and Jaosn Robards, Jr. convey the beauty and pain of a masterpiece of American drama. The tension builds slowly to a devestating and emotionally wrenching conclusion, as each member of the Tyrone family confronts the knowledge that the ties of love cannot save them from the unfulfilled dreams and illusions of a past that continues to haunt them in the present. With the somber black-and-white cinematography and the stark intensity of Andre Previn's solo piano score setting the mood, the actors give some of their finest performances, capturing all the power of O'Neill's masterpiece.
