Thanks for providing this! And thanks to the people who restore old movies, no matter how obscure they may be.

Foreword " a neccessity of the times" ...???? even in 1934 i cant believe they actually said that! wow. still it is a powerful classic film. thanks 🍕🍕🎬🎥 PizzaFlix

[@Patrick3183]

Yes. The only way to accomplish their goals was to allow NO FOOLISHNESS. This is the opposite of America now.

[@deadalready7467]

Back when “Immortal Classics” were treated as such. TY for sharing. 🙏🇺🇸

[@claudettedelphis6476]

Thank you Mr. Pizza for this classic movie 🎥 Read the book 📕 many years ago. Of course I have kept this fabulous book 📚 Will now enjoy the movie 🍿

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Thank you presenting Colleen Moore in the first sound version of The Scarlett Letter. I saw this on TCM recently and was impressed with her performance as Hester. I'm glad I saw this on YT. One of three films Moore did in 1934 (the others were Success at Any Price and Social Register). And still beautiful at 35 when this movie came out. Now on to her silent films.

[@rhondae8222]

This is a good movie. Thank you. 🙂

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Watching with family member who was 4 when this was made. Great quality. There would be A's on dresses all over the show now 😮.dont they put anything on the males?

[@rjmcallister1888]

One of the last appearances by 20's silent star Colleen Moore. This one was far from the 'flapper' films she made at First National, but she had amassed a good-sized fortune by this time and retired comfortably; something many stars of her time never could do.

[@tombaker4586]

The approach of making movies back then was great, very simple, just make them, now it's overcomplicated by so many things.....greetings from Belgium.

[@user-mz1nl1vk4t]

Thanks for adding Silent movies

[@catherine59226]

Thank you as always! 👍🏻❤️

[@Yungbeck]

Ouff I thought it was the elusive 1926 version by Sjöström for a second! We need a good copy of that.

[@DeloresLandeis]

Marvelous! Thank you so much.

[@Malik_Sylvus]

Sue Collins, the little girl playing Pearl, is still Alive (Born in 1927).

[@dougwilliams8602]

Oh the pain we bare when we fail to confess our sins

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Would you like to confess yours first and we will all follow

[@eleanorwilliams769]

We all carry guilt in our hearts for the sins we commit, for we are born sinning, only when we die do we stop. There is an intermediary between us and God, his son Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns forever beside the Father and will speak as our lawyer at our trial when we face judgement. For every sin he gave his blood to wipe our slates clean, continue to go to him for every sin you commit and he will hear you and cover it up.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

Awesome!!! We know this used to be on TV - that's where I first viewed this version!!! Really good!!💯

This actually happened to me in middle school because I hadn’t seen the film 😢

[@Patrick3183]

You were put in the stocks?

[@brithaddenhadden8383]

if you could restore these films: night in paradise 1946, little egypt 1951, gallant blade 1948, the highwayman 1951

[@rogerscottcathey]

Anyone read Hawthorne's novel? How does the film compare?

[@valeriewalker954]

Book is always better.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@valeriewalker954 : Yes, doubtlessly, but comparing this to the novel, has much been left out . . . besides the beauty of Hawthorne's prose of course...

[@valeriewalker954]

@@rogerscottcathey it's been so long. I remember that she got a letter saying her husband was dead. This wasn't in the movie.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@valeriewalker954 : Well I think I'll finally read it before watching this. Thanks for your kind input.

[@MiqueCapel]

finally seen this, not a pleasant but clear picture alas

[@WilliamL.PilgerJr.-bq1pb]

WHAT A MOVIE RATING IT AT... 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 MY OPINION Weed Me

[@ZeoViolet]

Yeah...they didn't execute her because they couldn't prove her husband was actually still alive and that she wasn't just a widow who got lonely (well, she got lonely at any rate...) An unmarried woman lured into sin didn't carry as strong a punishment as a woman who was proved to still have a living husband, so the doubt saved her life, at the exchange of wearing a letter on her breast in public. In the book, she was not under any obligation to wear it after her day standing in shame in public with her baby. As nasty as Chillingworth turned out to be, I give him one credit: He had no interest in avenging himself or harming Pearl in any way, and left all his goods to her after he died, so he was not one to persecute the innocent.

you could have been a smart feller but instead you are a fart smeller !

[@williamscoggin1509]

I hate watching backward ignorant thinking even if it is a movie. 🫣

[@mrskenscott9643]

To the people of Puritan New England this was not backward thinking. Conversely, we now have 38% of American children.. across all demographics.. are growing up with no father in the home and the downfall of America is the price we are paying for sin.
