Starring Lee Marvin, Fredric March, Robert Ryan

Considered the definitive film version of Eugene O'Neill's play, this simple tale of a birthday celebration at a saloon takes a devastating look at disillusionment and dashed hopes. Lee Marvin is haunting as Hickey, the madman that hides beneath the life of the party. John Frankenheimer's masterful interpretation stands as the single richest cinematic re-imagining of any American play.
