Death of a Salesman (1951)
Death of a Salesman is an award-winning 1951 adaptation, the first filmed adaptation, of the 1949 Arthur Miller play. In the main, the cast is the same as that from the Broadway play. Fredric March is Willy Loman and Cameron Mitchell plays younger son Happy. This is a tragic story of a life and a way of life.

I remember seeing this version and the one with Dustin Hoffman. Both were good, but it is a sad play/story.
ReplyDeleteYes, such a tragic story for everybody in it :(
DeleteWow, this takes me back to high school. We watched it then. If I remember it was pretty good. Then it got me thinking about A Streetcar Named Desire as we watched that too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteStreetcar is another tragic story. Life can be so _hard_ :(
DeleteI don't think I've seen this one it looks such a tragic story. Hope your having a lovely weekend! J 😊
ReplyDeleteIt's a fairly easy play to stage, and it used to be one you'd see offered by local theater companies. It was remade with Dustin Hoffman in the lead in the 1980s.

It makes it onto our informal list of saddest movies. It is good, though, I agree.
