    Editorial Reviews

    Sir Laurence Olivier, in a rare and Emmy-winning television appearance, stars in the acclaimed National Theatre Company stage production of this painfully autobiographical work by Eugene O'Neill -- a play so brutally revealing that he hoped it would never be performed. In it Olivier portrays James Tyrone, an aging actor who has abandoned all of being a great performer and has settled for a being a hack. His bitter wife, Mary, has slipped into morphine addiction, while his eldest son, Jamie, is a drunk, envious of the writing talent of his younger brother, Edmund. These four huanted lives clash in what O'neill called his story of "old sorrow, written in tears and blood." Barnes & Noble

    March 26, 2003: If you like Eugene O'Neill, it really does not get any better than this. The performances by all four stars is superb, and the subtle direction by Lumet is perfect for the delicate, but heavy-handed script. Up front I'll say that this is one of my all time favorite plays, and I usually automatically dismiss films that alter or edit the script. In this case, however, the subtle edits of an admittedly repetitive script actually enhance the play vice hurt it. Even those who are familiar with the play will have to follow the script to discover the gentle edits. The tension begins in the first 5 minutes and does not let up - ever - for the duration. I cannot recommend this film highly enough!
