Death of a Salesman
Description
Attention must be paid to this abbreviated but superb 1966 television adaptation by Arthur Miller of his Pulitzer Prize - winning modern tragedy - starring the incomparable Lee J. Cobb and Mildred Dunnock, re-creating their original Broadway roles as the Lomans. In a career-defining performance, Cobb portrays the suffering Willy Loman - the middle-aged man at the end of his emotional rope - with Dunnock equally impressive as his patient wife, Linda. George Segal and James Farentino play their disillusioned sons, Biff and Happy. Gene Wilder also stars. Shattering and unforgettable, this landmark television production has been digitally remastered and will endure for all generations to come.
