Contrasting Long day's Journey into night written to the play
Contrasting the Film to the Written
I analyzed a few different movie version of Long Day’s Journey Into Night and decided to choose the 1962 film version. The 1962 film version of this play is directed by Sidney Lumet and features actors Katharine Hepburn played Mary Tyrone, Ralph Richardson played James Tyrone, Jason Robards played Jamie Tyrone, Dean Stockwell played Edmund Tyrone, and Jeanne Barr played Kathleen. Although the 1962 film version of the play and the written version of the play by Eugene O’Neil follow each other very carefully there are a few differences. These include some scene locations and minor additions or deletions to certain events.
The first difference in the film version and the written version of Long Day’s Journey Into Night was the location of the very first scene of Act I. The first scene of Act I in the written play was placed in the Tyrone family’s living room. In the 1962 film version the first scene of Act I in the film was placed on the Tyrone family’s front porch. This is one of the few examples of how the written version and the film differ.
Another difference in the film version and the written version of Long Day’s Journey Into Night was the addition of two scenes in the film that was not in the play. The 1962 film version of Long Day’s Journey Into Night after the car ride when Mary and Kathleen are talking after the car ride, Mary gets on the floor. In the written version of the play Mary never gets on the floor she simply dismisses Kathleen to leave. In the film version they deleted the scene of Mary spilling here drink at lunch that was in the written play.
In conclusion the 1962 film version of Long Day’s Journey Into Night and the written version of Long Day’s Journey Into Night are very similar and only have a few differences. These differences are minor things like the setting of a particular scene and the addition or deletion of certain scenes. The 1962 film version is directed by Sideny Lumet and the actors
