What happens
Long Day's Journey into Night is a 1962 American drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, adapted from Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer-winning play of the same name. It stars Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards, and Dean Stockwell. The story deals with themes of addiction and the resulting dysfunction of the nuclear family, and is drawn from O'Neill's own experiences. It was shot at Chelsea Studios in New York City, with exteriors also shot in New York City in the City Island neighborhood of the Bronx. The film won Best Actor (for Richardson, Robards, and Stockwell) and Best Actress (for Hepburn) at the Cannes Film Festival and was named by the National Board of Review as one of the Top Ten Films of 1962. Hepburn's performance earned her an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. O'Neill's play was adapted to film again in 1996, directed by David Wellington, and in 2025, directed by Jonathan Kent. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
