1973. This is one of the definitive film translations of a stage play.Eugene O'Neill's masterpiece is often referred to as the greatest work of 20th century American theatre, centring on a crowd of wastrels, misfits, anarchists, alcoholics, whores and barflies, drinking away their troubles, and making grandiose plans. When Hickey arrives, for his yearly drunken bender to celebrate landlord Harry Hope's birthday, each character's dreams and aspirations melt away with a heartbreaking poignancy, exposing the human need for illusion and fantasy as an antidote to self-delusion and despair.Director John Frankenheimer (The Machurian Candidate, The Train) assembled a stunning ensemble cast led by Lee Marvin (Point Blank, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) as Hickey, Robert Ryan (The Wild Bunch, The Dirty Dozen), Fredric March (The Best Years of out Lives, A Star Is Born) and a young Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, The Fisher King).This stunning film adaptation is what Frankenheimer referred to as the best creative experience I ever had.

want to have to pay such close attention to a film, sometimes I just want to sit back and enjoy it.
It?s interesting to note that Paul Oakenfold and Basement Jaxx are contributors to the sound track. The music the film is set fits well, so well in fact that I barely noticed it.
Although I am not reviewing the DVD as I hate special features it is worth me telling you that there is a dubbed version on the DVD as well the original Japanese with the option of English subtitles. I watched it in English with the subtitles and the two didn?t match which was interesting.

Advantages: Pleasant family film Disadvantages: A bit short
