Yes, the making of the Misfits, (my favorite movie) also had wonderful
stills. Perhaps the stills I was thinking about weren't from the
Crucible per se, but, at one point there was a fantastic series of B&W
stills taken from one of the Miller's plays. I believe Inge Morath and
Elliott Erwitt were the dominate photographers on the set in 1960 and
1961 respectively. I'm not sure if they were Magnum or not.
...there BD is that better.

How did this train roar of track so bleeping fast?
I post a message about a show about the making of the movie "The
Misfits," a show featuring many still photos taken on the set of the
movie by a large group of Magnum photographers, including HCB. And the
next thing you know we're talking about mundane stills shot of the PLAY,
The Crucible, and then the question is asked whether the quality of the
photos is related to B&W..... Ohmigod.
Well....anyone who is interested in seeing the stuff that HCB, Elliot
Erwitt - I believe - Inge Morath and other Magnum photographers shot of
MM, Clark Gable, Montgomery Cliff, Eli Walach, etc., during the making
of THE MISFITS - ys, screen play by Arthur Miller, Directed by Elia
Kazan - check out the PBS Great Performances Making of The Misfits. NOT
the American Masters show about Kazan and Miller - although that was
fascinating for other reasons.

Wasn't the quality of those photos related to B&W?
