Subject: Three Sovereigns for Sarah video
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 97 00:37:21 EST


There have been several posts with regard to availability of a video of the PBS
production, "Three Sovereigns for Sarah". It is an excellent video from 1985
with Vanessa Redgrave and Phyllis Thaxter, and follows very closely the actual
events in 1692 Salem. I have found it listed in only one mail order video
catalog: "Critics' Choice Video", 3 cassettes, $59.95, U.S. Their order
service number is 1-800-367-7765. Fortunately I taped it when it was on PBS.
The Arthur Miller play, "The Crucible" is equally worthwhile, and I recently saw
the movie which focuses primarily on John Proctor, but includes a lot of other
history and names. I have not heard of it being released as a video, but it may
be out.
