Death of a Salesman

[Coxer99 · 17 August 1999]

Steiger is oddly cast as Arthur Miller's classic tragic hero Willy Loman, in an otherwise excellent television presentation of the play. Not as impressive as the Lee J. Cobb television version also done in 1966, but it does offer a new interpretation of the characters.

[Coxer99 · 26 August 1999]

The casting of Steiger as Willy Loman doesn't work here and the production is marred the whole way through because of a look of nausea on the face of the Academy Award winning actor who may have realized during filming that he was wrong for the role.
