Thought provoking drama - The Crucible review by PC
I have managed to miss this film version so thought I would finally give it a go and I was not disappointed. As a drama, it can sometimes be a bit theatrical, especially in the scenes of hysteria amongst the girls but this a very slight criticism that kept me interested throughout. Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Scofield are great and the portrayal of how reasonable people react to hysteria is very well portrayed.
