The Iceman Cometh (1973) watch online

The Iceman Cometh is a 1973 American drama film directed by John Frankenheimer, based on the 1946 play by Eugene O'Neill. The film was produced by Ely Landau for the American Film Theatre, which from 1973 to 1975 presented 13 film adaptations of noted plays. The principal cast stars Lee Marvin, Fredric March, Robert Ryan, Jeff Bridges, and Bradford Dillman, with supporting roles played by Sorrell Booke, Martyn Green, Moses Gunn, Clifton James, Tom Pedi, and George Voskovec.

The film was screened at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, but it wasn't entered into the main competition. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised both the performances and the film's faithfulness to its source material. Frankenheimer considered it his best work as a director.

This was the last film for both Ryan and March. March developed prostate cancer in 1970, causing him to retire from acting. Ryan died before the film's release. Ryan posthumously won the National Board of Review Award for Best Actor for his performance.
