Abstract : | Set in a turn-of-the-century seacoast town in Maine, where the success of a health spa prompts hopes of an economic bonanza. However, visitors have been getting sick, and Dr. Stockmann suspects that the epidemic may result from bacterial contamination of the spa water.
An idealistic doctor, played by Emmy-winner James Daly, discovers that the medicinal springs, source of a small Norwegian town's wealth and fame, are in fact poisoned. Adapted by master playwright Arthur Miller from Henrik Ibsen's groundbreaking 1882 play, An Enemy of the People is a scathing indictment of a corrupt society. "Few dramas...clamor with as much present-day social relevance" declared Variety. Veteran Broadway, screen, and television actress Kate Reid plays the doctor's indomitable wife who stands by him in the face of the town's hostility to his findings, as he becomes "an enemy of the people". |
