I saw this film 30 years ago, but I don't think I was mature enough to appreciate it. It is an incredibly powerful and complex tale. A modern version of a Greek tragedy.
Thank you Luís Filipe Bernardes for the subtitles. This was trurly an amazing experience. After some research I found that this play is actually a retelling of the Oresteia by Aeschylus (ancient Greece). A phenomenal piece of media and defintely worth a watch if you have the time.
Rosalind Russell was the front runner to win the Oscar after having won the Golden Globe Award. When the envelope was opened, the winner was Loretta Young for "The Farmer's Daughter."
I heard once this movie was not well received by American audiences who were put off by the subtle sexual tension the kids seem to have with their parents among other things. I think considering most Americans at this time only had about an 8th grade education, they just weren't intellectually affluent enough to appreciate such an adult version of these greek plays.
Impeccable set decoration. Like time travel. And this is a British production. Amazing how politesse can be used to strangle the truth in all of them. Awesomely grand play;.

The sea is a constant leitmotif in O'Neill's works, and Mourning Becomes Electra is no different. He wanted a sea shanty that would resemble a dirge, and Shenandoah was the one he settled on. O'Neill wasn't concerned so much with the pernickety details of Union versus Confederacy, but rather with the broader emotional effect. His father had been a flamboyant ham actor of the old school, and that dedication to the emotion, even the melodrama, is far more important in O'Neill's æsthetic than a prosaic and rigid fidelity to minor detail.
This version of those greek tales is one of the very best interpretations. Eugene O'Neill really knew what he was doing in how he re-framed these myths.

Under-rated masterpiece. Deserves a restored print.

This story is a version of ancient greek mythology of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Orestes, and Electra.
Is that based on Eugene o Neal,s drama ????
Yes it is.
It is based on a Greek tragedy Oresteia, Aeschylus the writter
@@effieligouri7969 O'Neill based Mourning on The Oresteia.

I'd love to know why a Unionist family (and community) in Civil War Maine would keep singing "Shenandoah".
The sea is a constant leitmotif in O'Neill's works, and Mourning Becomes Electra is no different. He wanted a sea shanty that would resemble a dirge, and Shenandoah was the one he settled on.

It's just an old folk song that pre-dates the war.
