We see a fairly dazzling array of performances, built by Frankenheimer cunningly and steadily. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- The play is an inescapably great experience, and that fact isn't muffled by this film. Full Review

[The actors] all give moving and full-blooded performances. O'Neill's play has stood the test of time well...ringing as true as ever.

Rating: 4/4 -- For four hours we live in these two rooms and discover the secrets of these people, and at the end we have gone deeper, seen more, and will remember more, than with most of the other movies of our life. Full Review

...The actors are all on a 'wow' level....[With] Bridges marvelously holding his own with Ryan; Moses Gunn and Bradford Dillman...

A series of powerful performances and some sympathetic direction from Frankenheimer raise this above most of the American Film Theater's productions. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The scene-stealer is Robert Ryan, one of cinema's forgotten great actors. He delivers a superlative performance as the radical with dark reason and fearful purpose, bringing a new, almost heroic dimension to the character. Full Review

Product Description:

Produced as part of the American Film Theater series, which produced films of classic plays with top-shelf actors and directors, this adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's THE ICEMAN COMETH is infused with director Frankenheimer's (THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE EXORCIST) trademark kinetic style. Set in 1912, the entire film takes place inside a dive bar named The Last Chance Saloon, where its destitute patrons eagerly await the arrival of Hickey, who arrives annually and props everyone up with free drinks and spirited stories of his travels. However, when Hickey does show up this year, it is with a message of temperance and an exhortation to give up hopeless dreams and face reality.
