The Long Voyage Home is a 1940 American drama film directed by John Ford. It stars Thomas Mitchell and Ian Hunter, it features Barry Fitzgerald, Wilfrid Lawson, John Qualen, Mildred Natwick, Ward Bond, among others. The film was adapted by Dudley Nichols from the plays The Moon of the Caribbees, In the Zone, Bound East for Cardiff, The Long Voyage Home by Eugene O'Neill; the original plays by Eugene O'Neill were written around the time of World War I and were among his earliest plays. Ford set the story for the motion picture, during the early days of World War II. While not one of Ford's best-known works, The Long Voyage Home continues to be well received. Film critics and scholars have noted Gregg Toland's distinctive cinematography, which serves as a precursor of the film noir aesthetic and would hint at his work for Orson Welles' landmark film Citizen Kane; the film tells the story of the crew aboard a British tramp steamer named the SS Glencairn on the long voyage home from the West Indies to Baltimore and to England.

The crew is a fun-loving, hard-drinking lot. Among them is their consensus leader, a middle-aged Irishman named Driscoll, a young Swedish ex-farmer Ole Olsen, a spiteful steward nicknamed Cocky, a brooding Lord Jim-like Englishman Smitty, a burly dependable bruiser Davis, among others; the film opens on a sultry night in a port in the West Indies where the crew have been confined to their ship by order of the captain, yet they yearn as for an opportunity to drink and have fun with the ladies. Drisk has arranged to import a boat-load of local ladies, who along with baskets of fruit, have agreed to smuggle bottles of rum on board where, with the acquiescence of the captain, the crew carouse until a minor drunken brawl breaks out and the ladies are ordered off the ship and denied any of their promised compensation; the next day the ship sails to pick up its cargo for its return trip to England. When the crew discovers that the cargo is high explosives, they at first rebel and grumble among themselves that they won't crew the ship if it is carrying such a cargo.

But they are cowed into submission by the captain and the ship sails, crossing the Atlantic and passing through what they all know is a war zone and potential disaster. After the ship leaves Baltimore with its load of dynamite, the rough seas they encounter become nerve-racking to the crew; when the anchor breaks loose, Yank is injured in the effort to secure it. With no doctor on board, nothing can be done for his injury, he dies. They're concerned that Smitty might be a German spy because he's so aloof and secretive. After they assault Smitty and restrain and gag him, they force him to give up the key to a small metal box they have found in his bunk which they at first think is a bomb. Opening the box against Smitty's vigorous protests, they discover a packet of letters; when Drisk reads a few, it becomes clear that they are letters from Smitty's wife revealing the fact that Smitty has been an alcoholic and dishonorably discharged from his service with the British navy, that he is now too ashamed to show himself before his family though his wife urges him to come home.

In the war zone as they near port, a German plane attacks the ship, killing Smitty in a burst of machine gun fire. Reaching England without further incident, the rest of the crew members decide not to sign on for another voyage on the Glencairn and go ashore, determined to help Ole return to his family in Sweden, whom he has not seen in ten years. In spite of their determination to help the simple, gullible Ole get on his ship for Stockholm, the crew is incapable of passing up the opportunity for a good time drinking and dancing in a seedy bar to which they have been lured by an agent for ships in port looking for crew members, he has his eye on Ole because he is the strongest of the lot. He drugs Ole's drink, calls his confederates in to shanghai Ole aboard another ship, the Amindra. Driscoll and the rest of the crew though drunk and too late, rescue Ole from the Amindra, but Driscoll is clubbed and left on board as the crew makes its escape with Ole; the next morning, the crew straggles back somewhat dejectedly and resignedly to the Glencairn to sign on for another voyage.

A newspaper headline reveals that the Amindra has been sunk in the Channel by German torpedoes, killing all on board. Independent film producer Walter Wanger made film-making history during the production of this film, he hired nine prominent American artists, all painters, to document the dramatic scenes during the film's production. Mr. Wanger offered a commission of over $50,000 to encourage the artists to participate, these funds were secured with the help of Reeves Lowenthal, Director of the Associated American Artists. No other undertaking of this magnitude and purpose had been done before in Hollywood film making; the artists insisted on three things to ensure a quality effort: freedom of choice on subject matter, studios on the production lot, a projection room for viewing rushes. The artists who participated were Thomas Benton, Grant Wood, George Biddle, James Chapin, Ernest Fiene, Robert Philipp, Luis Quintanilla, Raphael Soyer and Georges Schreiber. Eleven original paintings emerged from this inaugural effort.

These toured the country in the museum circuit of the day beginning with a display in the Associated American Artists Galleries on Fifth Avenue, New York. As Orson Welles would do the following year in Citizen Kane, director John Ford shared his title card with cinematographer Gregg Toland in the opening credits for The Long Voyage Home; the film did poorly in its theatrical release, losing $224,336.
