Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman cometh

"Robert Redford stars in Eugene O'Neill's harrowing drama which shines a spotlight on the perpetual pipe dreams of the down-and-out regulars of a seedy New York saloon. Their sad, but complacent existences are rattled when Hickey arrives for his annual binge a changed man."@en
"A group of has-beens in Harry Hope's saloon wait for the annual visit of Hickey (Robards), a happy salesman. Hickey arrives a changed character and tries to make each man see reality and face the truth about himself."@en

"A film version of Eugene O'Neill play which centers around drunks and whores who have found sanctuary in a saloon. Each has their own "pipe-dream" that sustains them until Hickey, the "Iceman", attempts to free them from their illusions by stripping them of their lies and guilt."@en
