Mother and Daughter...Loving the Same Man - and Hating Each Other!
At the end of the Civil War, the proud residents of Mannon Manor await the return of shipping tycoon Ezra Mannon (Arsenic And Old Lace's Raymond Massey) and son Orin (Goodbye, Mr. Chips' Michael Redgrave). Meanwhile, Ezra's conniving wife Christine (Katina Paxinou, Academy Award-winner for For Whom The Bell Tolls) and daughter Lavinia (Auntie Mames Rosalind Russell) vie for the love of a handsome captain (Leo Genn) with a dark secret while well-meaning neighbor Peter (Academy Award® winner Kirk Douglas) sets his sights on Lavinia. Poisoning, infidelity, gunshots and shocking family secrets explode in a haunting climax that will never be forgotten. Adapted from the classic play by Eugene O'Neill, this Academy Award-nominated classic, restored to its uncensored version, is a tour de force of American cinema!
