Dir: Alex Segal

'The Crucible' is the all-star casted 1953 play by American playwright Arthur Miller. It's the dramatized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in 1692-93. An allegory for McCarthyism and its hearings in the early 1950's, Miller was questioned by the House Un-American Activities Committee, and convicted of contempt of Congress in 1956 for refusing to provide the names.
