Not bad for a 1934 low budget presentation

Warning: Spoilers
This film comes off as an early independent movie. There's nothing spectacular about the film but the production is rather solid. The sets, acting and dialog are all decent. The film plays like a stage presentation of the story.

The story is rather dry but that is what the Scarlet Letter is...a rather dry story. The tale is a good period piece on morality and hypocrisy but a "one-trick pony" is always a "one-trick" pony.

A good film for students of film history to see where society and film making came from. Probably real passé for anyone else. Not much else to say.
