I have been dying to see Long Day's Journey Into Night for months now ever since I learned that Katharine Hepburn gave what some call the greatest performance of her career. It rarely airs on TCM so I have been thinking of buying a copy of it on e-bay. Is this a Kate Hepburn movie that I should have in my DVD collection?

Hi, Shaun:
I never saw Florence Eldrige play the part on stage, but I've seen many, many actresses play it and many have been extraordinary, but they all must come up to Hepburn's performance because, in my mind, she created the standard for this part....Awesome, moving, varied, heartbreaking, committed performance....And, by the way, the film itself is beautifully directed, shot and scored.
Without question, you should have this one in your DVD collection.

You should definately buy it. It's one of my favorite dramatic performances Kath ever gave. I didn't regret adding it to my film collection.

Hey Shaun,
did you get the DVD, it's a treat. Got it 2 years ago - Kate it magnificent in it. As Ralph Richardson said; A real woman.
