Eugene O'Neill. A Documentary Film
Description
Presenting the haunting story of America's only Nobel Prize-winning playwright, this episode of American Experience details the harrowing family dramas and personal upheavals that shaped Eugene O'Neill and which he in turn struggled all his life to confront through his art. Viewers are introduced to the masterpieces O'Neill created at the very end of his career-chief among them The Iceman Cometh and Long Day's Journey into Night-with the aid of scenes staged especially for the program. These are performed by some of the most gifted actors working today, including Al Pacino, Christopher Plummer, Robert Sean Leonard, Liam Neeson, and Vanessa Redgrave.
