Young Richard Miller feels the constraints of his turn-of-the-century New England hometown and close-knit family. Out there - why, out there is a world of advanced ideas like Socialism, advanced men like Oscar Wilde and advanced women who will actually kiss a fellow! So Richard tries to practice a little out there right where he is...with warm, wonderfully funny results. A sterling cast highlighted by Best Actor Oscar(r) winners* Wallace Beery and Lionel Barrymore plus an up-and-comer named Mickey Rooney gives Eugene O'Neill's only comedy the loving luster it deserves. Horseless carriages, straw boaters, nickle beer: Ah, Wilderness is a portrait of an America long gone - but forever remembered.
