I thought it was very interesting how involved Arthur Miller was with the actual filming and stage direction of the movie. I've never heard of a playwright or screenwriter having that much say in how a film was put together.

Also, it was just as surprising to see how much influence Dustin Hoffman had on scenes. I know he is a great actor, but I thought there was something called directorial control?

It was interesting how they intentionally made it look like a play instead of adapting to look more like a movie, I thought it kept a nice level of integrity.

One thing the video showed was how hard it is to make a movie for everyone involved. It truly is a neverending saga, at least until the movie's debut.
