Mourning Becomes Electra Film 1947 (eng sub)

[@c.a.savage5689]

Great movie, in spite of the quality. Absolutely gripping. To be able to write a modern version of a classical Greek tragedy AND make the characters believable and compelling is quite an achievement. This made my week. Kudos to all the actors and Eugene O'Neill. Thank you for posting.

[@karenharris4027]

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.

[@JHarder1000]

Under-rated masterpiece. Deserves a restored print.

hello

[@cw-s3582]

Dark & powerful movie with some incredible actors.

[@filipmokrejs3611]

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.

"The curse of the house of Atreus was one forged from murder, incest and deceit, and continued in this way for generations through the family line. To put it simply, the curse demands blood for blood, a never-ending cycle of murder within the family."

Thank you ! Great drama one in a while I get lucky and find an old classic I’ve never seen ,and this is a great one ! ❤️🙏🇨🇦

[@heatherbowlan1961]

Love this old classic ! How I wish it was in a quality thank you for showing it any way !

[@paulrosa6173]

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;.

Ms. Russell earned an Oscar nomination for this film, one of four nominations. It's a pity she never won.

[@sorayaraza5827]

All the best actors miss out for their best films and th an might get an Oscar for an unworthy fi lm...Butterflies 8, none for Cary G, The Country Girl for Grace...odd choices.

@@sorayaraza5827 Agree with you about Grace Kelly for the Country Girl. She was good, but it was Bing's best performance.

kyeongHa, thanks so much for uploading this. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

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."

[@Alsatia28]

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.

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.

is this exactly like the book somebody tell me please!!!

[@Alsatia28]

This story is a version of ancient greek mythology of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Orestes, and Electra.

[@c.a.savage5689]

It's written as a Greek tragedy (in 3 parts) by Aeschylus, in the 5th century, B.C. "The Oresteia".

[@stevenwilliambaylessparks3730]

A neglected masterpiece. Compare to the also great 1962 pared-down classical Greek version with Irene Pappas.

[@tadimaggio]

I'd love to know why a Unionist family (and community) in Civil War Maine would keep singing "Shenandoah".

[@jasonhurd4379]

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.

[@Alsatia28]

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

The copy IS bad. Deal with it. You know what the actors look like. Watch it on a small screen and pretend it's a radio play for the most part. It is still very compelling and KZbinrs are darn lucky to have access to it.
