Over the course of one day in August 1912, the family of retired actor James Tyrone grapples with the morphine addiction of his wife Mary, the illness of their youngest son Edmund and the alcoholism and debauchery of their older son Jamie. As day turns into night, guilt, anger, despair, and regret threaten to destroy the family.
I can't believe how wonderful Katharine Hepburn looks at 55. Her performance is perfect as always and she was rightly nominated for an Oscar (she lost to Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker).
