Customer Reviews of Death of a Salesman & Private Conversations
Obviously a collective dvd. Death of a salesman is the show, which is being put on somewhere in the world almost every day of the year. It's so multi-dynamic and close to real life that it can hurt you for real. Beside the genius playwriting, this movie is an excellent performance of that. Dusting Hoffman, John Malkovich, Kate Reid, Stephen Lang they all have done superb job portraying their characters. Although I am not into literature, capable enough to pay homage for a play like this one, I for certainly recommend this movie for everyone to collect. A must have movie.
This is an utterly classic dramatic work

Searing drama
Dustin Hoffman is Willy Loman, the salesman who's come to the end of his rope as the illusions he's always believed in come crashing down on him. This was filmed originally for TV off the stage, with no attempt to make it into a "movie." It's a very great play, done extremely well here. I think I still might like the 1951 version with Frederic March as Loman a tad better, but Hoffman adds another feather to his cap. (Neither March nor Hoffman can top Lee J. Cobb's portrayal of Willy in the original 1949 stage version.) Kate Reid plays his harried wife Linda, John Malkovich is Biff, and Stephen Lang is Hap.

>The "Private Conversations" piece, back-stage doings and interviews, is a let down after watching the movie. It completely knocks the wind out of the sails of the performance just seen.
