On This Day

22 January 1953

The Crucible by Arthur Miller opened at the Martin Beck Theatre in New York City.

It starred Arthur Kennedy as John Proctor, Beatrice Straight as Elizabeth Proctor, and Madeleine Sherwood as Abigail Williams. It won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1953.

The play, well known to this day and frequently revived in both professional and amateur theatre, takes place during the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts during 1692 to 1693. Although not historically accurate in the strictest sense, it works as a timeless allegory for the human tendency toward mass hysteria.

Faerie Tale Theatre: The Ultimate Episode Ranking

So, we’ve come to the end of this years-long Faerie Tale Theatre retrospective, my friends. It’s been quite a ride. Unlike most big Hollywood collaborations, Faerie Tale Theatre wasn’t a vanity project or a corporate mandate driven by synergistic greed, but a labor of love from start to finish. There’s been highs and lows, but I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t any passion put into every minute…

"Network" - 1976 film

I watched this a week or two or ago and was captivated by Beatrice Straight. I love a red head and the way that they dressed her in just the few scenes she had was immaculate. Just now I thought how strange that I don't have any images of the films lead, Faye Dunaway, because she is the reason I even looked the movie up. She was great and gave uncanny valley vibes the entirety of the movie, this could have easily been marketed as a thriller with a few changes to lighting and music. But as soon as I thought about Faye's character in comparison to her lover's wife (Beatrice Straight) it sort of makes sense... he (William Holden's character) leaves the life he worked years for with his long-term, beautiful and vibrant partner and well appointed home for a relationship with someone that seems new and exciting but turns out to be shallow, morally bankrupt and inhumane. Was this meant to be a metaphor about our (impeding) addiction to tv/media circus and technology? I think so, but what do I know.
