Ah, Theatre! - The Iceman Cometh (1973)
Manage episode 448559997 series 3477755
Join us in celebrating Sam’s birthday with this special episode on the John Frankenheimer film version of Eugene O’Neill’s play The Iceman Cometh. The hosts dig in to the unusual experiment in cinematic stage plays that birthed this project. You might think a four-hour-long play about alcoholism and despair sounds like a weird birthday present to give oneself but this discussion actually turned out to be rather charming and fun. Happy Birthday Sam! Topics include: Jason Robards vs. Lee Marvin, 1950s television, and Alana’s thoughts on Jack Lemmon.
