...Hollywood's credit that the extremities of the Elms have not been pruned. O'Neill set out to write a Yankee Oedipus Rex, but what came out might more appropriately have been titled Sex Rex. The antagonists of the drama are a father (Burl Ives) and a son (Anthony Perkins), and the subject of their struggle, as in the myths of heroic succession on which the drama is modeled, is the land (a New England farm) and the woman (Sophia Loren).
