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.
