Thanks, Alan, for the head's-up on this book. I love Sidney Lumet's film of ''Long Day's Journey'' and the cinematography of Boris Kaufman (who won an Oscar for ''On the Waterfront''). This is not a story that needs to be ''opened up''; what I love is the claustrobia, a family trapped and forced to deal with each other. Plus, there is that fog that envelopes them. But it's time for a new color film version. A shame they didn't make one of the 2003 Tony-winning revival with Brian Dennehy, Vanessa Redgrave, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robert Sean Leonard. A new generation needs to rediscover it.
