Watched this last again night, it was set in 1845 and you'd swear it was made shortly after that.
It is tense, with a sense of menace as father, mother and son argue in the family apartment. Patricia Neal's character Nettie is deeply unlikeable, which I take as a sign of a superb performance. She looks deeply haggard, as she would in real life following her recovery from stroke. Martin Sheen (Timmy) is a good facial match for his 'mother', and he and Jack Albertson (John), were also difficult to like.

The instrumental music, used sparingly, was scored by Lee Pockriss, and there are two songs, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" written by Sandy Denny, and "Albatross", another Denny favourite, were sung by Judy Collins.

 It's many years since I saw this on TV, but I recall being transfixed by the superb performance of Patricia Neal, playing an unglamorous housewife caught up in tense family arguments. Set mostly in the Clearys' Bronx apartment, the production is very much in the 'proscenium arch' theatrical style.
