Starring Fredric March, Mildred Dunnock, Kevin McCarthy, Cameron Mitchell

When Death of a Salesman first appeared on the New York stage it achieved something very rare. It was a huge box-office success and won several of the highest critical awards. The director, Laslo Benedek (who also directed the controversial The Wild One), succeeded admirably in exploiting with cinema technique the visual world of fantasy and reminiscence which is so central to the story of Willy Loman, the ageing and unsuccessful salesman who tries desperately to maintain his prestige at home. One of the film's most successful aspects is Fredric March's ability to move from reality to fantasy without change of make-up or costume. Somehow he manages to grow younger under one's very eyes.
