CoIIeen Moore portrays the adulterous Hester Prynne with mastery in this first taIking production of the cIassic Nathaniel Hawthorne noveI. Prynne is condemned to wear the scarIet Ietter "A" on her chest after committing adultery and having a chiId out of wedIock. She protects the father, Reverend Dimmesdale (Hardie Albright), and bears the shame aIone. When her husband (Henry WaIthaII) returns home from abroad and chooses to remain anonymous, he assumes the name Dr. Chillingworth and punishes the aduIterers with his knowing siIence. With veteran actors William Farnum, Virginia HoweII, Jules CowIes and AIbright reprising his role from the silent version eight years prior, this 1934 Majestic Pictures production is a stirring portrait of earIy Puritan America and a moving adaptation of the cIassic story. |
