Summary
The television version of Eugene O'Neill play centers on the failed lives, empty hopes, and perpetual pipe dreams of an assortment of down and out denizens of a seedy saloon. Their existences are rattled when Hickey, the "Iceman", attempts to free them from their illusions by stripping them of their lies and guilt. Includes brief introductions by executive producer Worthington Miner and theater critic Brooks Atkinson.Additional Information
