Long Day’s Journey into Night to make UK Blu-ray debut

January 30, 2020 - Staff@seenituk

Sidney Lumet’s big screen adaptation of Long Day’s Journey into Night comes to Blu-ray and DVD for the first time ever in the UK as part of Eureka Entertainment’s The Masters of Cinema Series.

Pre-order from Amazon.co.uk*

Available from 16 March 2020 and adapted 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.

  • Brand new feature-length audio commentary by author Scott Harrison
