Anecdotes
Epilogue: "In January of 1693, Sir William Phips reprieved the sentences of all the remaining witches awaiting execution."

"In all 20 innocent people were killed. Tituba Indian, unable to pay her prison fees, remained in jail until she was sold to a new home."

"The impact of the Salem witch trials was so profound that it brought down an entire way of life, marking the end of puritanism and the beginning of what would eventually become America."

"At the insistence of their descendants, the last five of those accused of witchcraft were officially pardoned by the state of Massachusetts on October 31, 2001."

Gaffes
In reality, Governor Phips was only 41 at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. The film depicts him as obviously much older.

Very good historical docu-drama.

I was pleased to finally see Hollywood come out with a more realistic portrayal of the events surrounding one of the darkest periods in American history. The acting is excellent and the events are about as close to reality as you will ever get out of our American movie industry, which is usually incapable of portraying such historical facts without garbaging things up with special effects and their two cents worth of fiction thrown in for the purpose of maintaining the interest of those with IQ's that parallel the range of springtime temperatures. I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in this period of our history.
