This is a very interesting Eugene O'Neill story with a great cast of actors who spin a very mysterious and dark side of a very respectable family with plenty of hateful secrets in the hearts of many family members. It takes place in a large New England home before and after the Civil War with Raymond Massey playing the role of (Brig.General, Ezra Mannon) who lives with his wife and son, Michael Redgrave, (Orin Mannon) along with his daughter Rosalind Russell, (Lovinia Mannon) who all do not get along like a normal family and live very morbid lives behind closed doors. The only person who offered a great deal to his hometown was Brig. General, Ezra Mannon who was the local Mayor and was very well respected, as for the rest of the family, you will have to see this film to learn just what all these dark secrets managed to change the peoples lives in this story. Rosalind Russell along with Michael Redgrave put their hearts and soul into their roles and made this a great picture.
