Product Review

Death of a Salesman author Arthur Miller also penned this gritty but effective drama set near the Brooklyn waterfront. It revolves around a dock worker (Vallone) who no longer loves his plain, middle-aged wife (Stapleton) but doesn't dare reveal his feelings for a young niece (Lawrence). Lumet's direction magnifies the tension and elicits great performances from the leading players. Sidney Lumet filmed this play in Europe--in both French and English--because of the playwright's politics. We are offering the English-language version. This disc is expected to play back in DVD Video "play only" devices, and may not play in other DVD devices, including recorders and PC drives. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
