Samenvatting:

This screenplay is Miller's own adaption of his 20th century classic play about the Salem witch trials of 1692. The book includes twenty stills from the Twentieth Century Fox film starring Daniel Day Lewis and Winona Ryder,



Now a major film from 20th Century Fox This is the first-ever adaptation of Arthur Miller's twentieth century classic for the big screen. Set in the 17th century, it famously mirrors the communist "witch-hunts" of McCarthyism in 50s America. A fascinating and disturbing dramatisation of the collective psychology of persecution it shows all too painfully how even a close-knit rural community can be desolated once doubt and suspicion take hold.
