    1. Singularity

      An intellectual is to vague a description, best to state what he is – a professor.

      This is a tough one to write a logline as the story centers on the inner conflicts between husband and wife with out any externally visual goals. I think the play, and later movie, is really about how a husband and wife learn to accept the death of their only son. The tension is bought about by the conflict they have as a result of the son being mentioned, in a round-about way, in front of other people and the resolution is the tension dissipating.

    2. Singularity

      As?Nir Shelter said, it’s movie with a tough plot to condense into a logline.

      But, then, ?no logline was really necessary.? The premise was pre-tested and?proven viable ?as a critically acclaimed and commercially successful Broadway play.???(Did loglines even exist in 1962?)
