Plot and response

The film concerns a fateful, heart-rending day in August 1912 at the seaside Connecticut home of the Tyrone family.

One theme of the play is addiction and the resulting dysfunction of the family: All three males are alcoholics and Mary is addicted to morphine. They all constantly conceal, blame, resent, regret, accuse and deny in an escalating cycle of conflict with occasional desperate and half-sincere attempts at affection, encouragement and consolation.

Cast and characters

  • Katharine Hepburn as Mary Tyrone
  • Ralph Richardson as James Tyrone, Sr.
  • Jason Robards, Jr. as James Tyrone, Jr.
  • Dean Stockwell as Edmund Tyrone
