The Iceman Cometh
In the faded light of Harry Hope's 1912 New York skid row bar, a rag tag group of fallen men, each like a ghost haunting the wreckage of his own life, await the annual arrival of 'Hickey' (Lee Marvin). This year, however, the charismatic Hickey brings not the usual rounds of drinks and pats on the back, but the unwelcome news that he's off the sauce for good and has come to persuade Hope's drunks to do the same. One by one, the regulars' booze-basted pipe dreams come under Hickey's leering microscope until finally the most shocking self deception turns out to be Hickey's own. A production of the American Film Theatre, from the play by Eugene O'Neill. Directed by John Frankenheimer, this is one of the definitive film translations of a stage play. With Fredric March, Robert Ryan, Jeff Bridges.
