What Death of a Salesman Is About
Willy Loman is an ageing salesman who can no longer sell, and he cannot accept either reality or his failure to reach the American dream. It was adapted from Arthur Miller’s 1949 play, written for the screen by Stanley Roberts and directed by László Benedek. Fredric March plays Willy, Mildred Dunnock his wife and Kevin McCarthy and Cameron Mitchell his sons, with Columbia distributing. It took five Oscar nominations: March, Dunnock, McCarthy, Franz Planer’s cinematography and Alex North’s score. It won four Golden Globes. It failed at the box office, because telling a story of failure was hard going for audiences in a prosperous stretch of the country’s life. In time it became one of the best known screen versions of the play.
