Understanding, coupled with entirely effective production, is the foundation of the play's success. And although the distribution of praise is a difficult matter in this case, first honors must go to director Steve Aaron for his searching interpretation of the play, and for the manner in which he has brought the speech and action of all his principle characters to bear on the revelation and comprehension of Willy Loman's final, tragic assertion...
With his brother James Johnson Sweeney, former head of the Museum of Modern Art, Sweeney developed an early liking for painting. While he owns works by Bracque, Picasso, Leger, and Gris, he protests, in his self-effacing manner, that "I know nothing about aesthetics as a professional discipline or as a philosophical study.

The script Hitchcock uses is in the manner of a very garrulous Noel Coward, lacking a great deal of the sponteneity and verve which make salon situation humor tolerable.
