Vincent HannamHOST
Think John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, top tier Shakespearean British actor.
Vincent HannamHOST
He had some really prominent roles in movies in things like Things to Come from the 1930s, a movie called The Heiress, a movie you may know, Long Day's Journey Into Night.
Vincent HannamHOST
Dr. Zhivago, he was twice nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for The Heiress.
Vincent HannamHOST
And his final film, 1984's Greystroke, The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.
Scott GardnerGUEST
Yeah.
Brandon DavisHOST
Yeah, I think this is what – I think what I meant was this is the movie that cracks her open, that leads her to be able to do performances like Long Day's Journey Into Night, like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, like The Lion and Winter, where she really lays everything out on the table.
Brandon DavisHOST
Because even in some of the great films she did of the 30s and 40s, there's still this kind of unapproachable part to Hepburn where she doesn't – where she lets you in but not fully.
Brandon DavisHOST
In this, she totally lets the veneer come down in certain sections, which would happen, you know, throughout the late 50s into the 60s, 70s, all of that.
Ethan BrehmHOST
Like I had seen a couple of her later stuff.
Ethan BrehmHOST
I'd seen Long Day's Journey into Night and maybe one other one.
Ethan BrehmHOST
And I just was like...
Ethan BrehmHOST
So impressed by how different she is than anybody else, even people I love.
Chris WinterbauerHOST
That got him nominations for best director, best picture, best screenplay.
Chris WinterbauerHOST
His next two films, Long Day's Journey into Night and The Pawnbroker, also received Oscar nominations for their actors.
Lizzie BassettHOST
Am I right, though, in thinking that a lot of his early films are stage adaptations? 'Cause 12 Angry Men, A View from the Bridge, Long Day's Journey into Night, there's a run of, like, five or six that are all stage adaptations.
Chris WinterbauerHOST
They are, and a lot of them are New York based.
Lizzie BassettHOST
Yeah.
Chris WinterbauerHOST
But I think this belies a bit of a maverick streak to Lumet.
Chris WinterbauerHOST
So you mentioned the stage adaptations.
Chris WinterbauerHOST
So Long Day's Journey into Night is centered around a dysfunctional American nuclear family.
