Director:

Jack O'Brien

Writer:

Arthur Miller (play)

Stars:

Joan Allen, Michael Learned, Aidan Quinn

All My Sons is the 1986 TV adaptation of Arthur Miller's 1947 Broadway play (a film version, starring Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster, was produced in 1948). James Whitmore stars as Joe Keller, a bullying industrialist who'd been accused of selling defective weapon parts to the government during World War II. He was acquitted when the court decided that it was his business partner who was responsible. Keller and his family desperately await the post-war return of son Larry, who was officially listed as missing in action. Larry's fiance Ann (Joan Allen), the daughter of Keller's imprisoned business partner, is attracted to Larry's brother Chris (Aidan Quinn), but she has vowed to remain faithful to her missing fiance. The play's third act reveals that it was indeed Joe Keller, and not his partner, who was responsible for the defective material -- and that his penny-pinching carelessness ended up costing the life of his own son Larry. Michael Learned co-stars as Keller's wife, who like her husband vainly tries to lock out the truth. First telecast January 19, 1987, All My Sons was the sixth-season opener of PBS's American Playhouse.

Couldn't Be More Pleased

Posted by Robert "Chaos" Durborow on Oct 5th 2015

I purchased this DVD for a directing class I'm taking, in which we are studying this production. The professor has an old, worn VHS recording and mentioned he's been looking for a DVD copy for years. I checked your site, and sure enough, there it was. The quality is excellent and my professor couldn't be more pleased. Thank you.
