The Crucible
Director: Nicholas Hytner

US, 1996, 123 mins.


Taken from Arthur Miller's vibrant play about the witch trials of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. With Winona Ryder claiming to be in the thrall of witchcraft. Daniel Day-Lewis and his wife Joan Allen are among those blamed and struggle, in vain, to restore order - but the show is stolen by Paul Schofield as the lugubrious judge.
