内容説明

From the late 1920s to late 1950s, the Broadway theatre was America's cultural epicenter. Entertainment took the form of literature, music, and theatre. During this golden age of Broadway, actors and actresses became legends and starred in now classic plays. Laurence Olivier, Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontaine were names to remember, etching plays into memory as they brought the words of Tennessee Williams or Eugene O'Neill to life. Joseph Cotton romanced Katherine Hepburn in Philip Barry's "The Philadelphia Story" while Laurette Taylor became "The Glass Menagerie's" Amanda Wingfield. Frederic March, Florence Eldridge, Jason Robards, Jr and Bradford Dillman showed us life among the ruins in "Long Day's Journey Into Night" at a time when audiences demanded smart plays, good acting, and a certain glamour that was Broadway.
