Hadley Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Any thoughts on the 1996 movie version of this? I read that the script was approved by Miller. I don’t love it, but prefer to watch plays after we read them. Any other versions of the play I should check out? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Closer to the time of the original publishing/first production of the play is the 1967 TV movie version with George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadley Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks! I didn’t know about this version. I may end up showing the more recent movie, but I’ll check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royspeed Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hadley: I found the 1996 movie really intense, moving, even wrenching; I recommend it highly. — Daniel Day Lewis is amazing, and equally amazing is Joan Allen. It's also great to see Paul Scofield again (Man For All Seasons, anyone?), though I think this might have been his final role. (By contrast, I found the George C. Scott version from the 1960s almost unwatchable.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadley Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I’m just popping back in to say that we just watched the 1996 version and had a great, juicy conversation about it. It was MUCH better than I remembered! I hope my earlier post didn’t deter anyone from giving it a chance. I must have grown up quite a bit since I first saw it 😉. Thanks for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We just watched it after reading the play too. I've always loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
