Long Day's Journey Into Night - Dual Format

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureAdapted directly from the play by Eugene O'Neill (considered the Nobel laureate's magnum opus), Long Day's Journey into Night is a four-act study of addiction and recrimination that the playwright claimed was written in tears and blood . Taking place over a single, fateful day in the summer of 1912, the Tyrone family (modelled after O'Neill's own) confront their bitter failings and long-held resentments. Patriarch James (Ralph Richardson) is a renowned stage actor who's never forgotten his squalid Irish childhood, and has forsaken artistic ambition for commercial success. His wife Mary (Katharine Hepburn) has developed a morphine addiction, his eldest son Jamie (Jason Robards, Jr.) is a violent alcoholic and failed actor, and his youngest (and clearly favoured) son Edmund (Dean Stockwell) is a nervous young man in poor health. All of them have something painful to say, and their silence is even worse.Special Features1080p presentation of the film on Blu-ray, from a high-definition digital transferProgressive encode on DVDOptional English subtitlesBrand new feature-length audio commentary by author Scott HarrisonBrand new and exclusive video essay by Lee GambinTrailerPLUS: a collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Philip Kemp
