Abstract

Of the first production in New York and London, with Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman in New York and Paul Muni in London, the critics said:

There is almost nothing to be said for Willy Loman who lies to himself as to others, has no creed or philosophy of life beyond making money by making buddies and cannot even be faithful to his helpful and long suffering wife.
