    Seeking three older movies
    I am trying to find three movies over the years to purchase. I have been searching for some time. I am not sure of the titles, and have looked through several Video and DVD Catalogs.

    The first is one on the Salem witch trials, with Samantha Mategommery as one of the sisters persecuted during the trials. I have not been able to find any of her work.

    The next one that I have been trying to find, I think was called "the last brickmaker" but have not been able to find it by that title to purchase it. It is simply about one of the last brickmakers in America... The brickmaker, makes the bricks and stacks them, then seal the bricks and makes the stack into the oven, which has to be watch over to keep it at the correct tempature... it also brings out the and matures the workers that he has to help him. Don't know how old or long ago it was made.

    The other may have been made in England, but is about an English charwoman, who dreams of owning an Paris original... and saves up for it. Her best friend cannot understand why or believe she can. She does save the money and goes to Paris, to see the gowns displayed... but when she tries to purchase the gown, the House is against it. I believe that Ms Riggs is one of the supporting cast.

    I would love to get copies of these three movies... Can you help me?

    On the first one, are you thinking about Elizabeth Montgomery who played
    A character named "Samantha" on the television series, "Bewitched?"

    Here's a link to her filmography, however, she didn't make a movie with that theme:

    Elizabeth Montgomery Filmography

    There was a movie in 1993 about three witch sisters tried and hung
    In Salem, and one of them resembles Elizabeth Montgomery:
