Buy This Item Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh (Broadway Theatre... by Image Entertainment  Available from Amazon  $21.99  on 11-27-2008     Jason Robards burst onto the Broadway scene in 1956 with his performance in Eugene O'Neill's devastating <I>Iceman Cometh</I>, playing the central role of Hickey, a salesman who comes to a rundown bar on a mission to bring peace to its boozing denizens by lifting their illusions--only to wreak disaster on them and himself. Four years later, director Sidney Lumet (later to direct such classics as <I>Dog Day Afternoon</I> and <I>Network</I>) made this skillful television version of the play, bringing back Robards, along with a sterling collection of character actors (particularly Myron McCormick as a former communist who comes to see his reasonableness as a form of cowardice) and a young Robert Redford (in a strikingly unheroic role). Robards became famous for his roles in many O'Neill plays; his galvanizing performance drives <I>The Iceman Cometh</I> and makes this production one of the landmarks of television drama. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I> Reader Reviews Sir I have not received this item yet.
