My notes
Gemma Arterton is always enjoyable. See the other example here in this file group
for The Duchess of Malfi for the Globe Theatre Live at the Sam Wanamaker Theatre which
is lit for the period only in candlelight for each performance.
Here with Saint Joan there's a more modern approach. There is no onscreen display of
the end which is common with the Joan story.
Saint Joan is a recode of an existing torrent capture. I've made it a smaller size
for easier access. In the NFO I'll print the name of the original which may be still
available. I've added an interval break and the introduction is separate. This torrent
edit was running for the four years indicated. It is reissued here for the new index.
