Traveling salesman Fredric March's life unwinds when he is fired from his job at 63. Already on the brink, he is thrust into conversations with long-dead relatives or relives events from his past. His wife and grown sons try to cope with his deteriorating condition, but only seem to make it worse. Stagey but effective rendering of the famous Arthur Miller play features powerful performances by many of the original cast members. Has lost none of its relevance or power in the past 50 years.
