Title: THE CRUCIBLE (1967)
Post by: Gothick on July 06, 2017, 04:31:10 PM

A friend alerted me that the 1967 TV production of Arthur Miller's play THE CRUCIBLE, starring George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst, has been posted online, and I found the link.  Thayer David shows up around the 4:45 mark and Clarice Blackburn follows shortly thereafter.  They play a couple, the Putnams.  Kathy Cody is also on hand, along with many other regulars from the television shows of the period--Henry Jones is stalwart, as always.  The link:

Link is to a Vimeo file--those seem to require higher internet speed and a bit more memory than Youtube.

Best, G.

Thayer and Clarice both have great scenes.  I don't know if they're in it much after the first part, though.

I'd watch each of them read from the phone book for 30 seconds and be satisfied!!  [nodassent]  [lghy]

So would I, of course.

I'd always wondered how much of an impact this may have had on Sam Hall and Gordon Russell's scripts for the 1795 storyline.  Looks as if it had a pretty strong impact, judging from what I was able to watch briefly this morning.
