Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaComposer Elmer Bernstein reportedly wrote a letter to Demi Moore thanking her for rejecting his music score for this movie, so that he could use it to score a better movie. Moore was involved in getting John Barry to write the final score, because she wanted a score like the one he did for the romantic, and very successful Out of Africa (1985).
- GoofsNicholas Rice is credited as playing the clerk, but the role was actually played by someone else.

(Based on Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings")

Featured review
Not all that bad!
OK, it's not faithful to the novel . . . .
I waited a long time before I finally decided to rent the video and watch The Scarlet Letter. Afterwards I wondered, what was everyone so upset about?! I was pleasantly surprised. Gary Oldman was his usual -brilliant, and looking soulfully handsome for a change. Demi Moore turned in a decent performance -watch closely- and then decide for yourself. Robert Duvall as the crazy doctor was a bit over the top, but had enough self control to not let it get out of hand. Joan Ploughright was charming as usual, and the only one who got the accent right -being a Brit, of course.
I don't recall the Indian war, and witchcraft from the novel . . . but it's been a long time. Yes, I guess it was a different movie, but watch it for what it is.
