movie vs book
Victor Sjöström, 1926
It is 1667 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and an uneasy truce exists between local Puritans and their neighbors, the Algonquian. Hester Prynne arrives overseas from England and while she waits for her husband she falls for a young minister. Sentenced to wear a scarlet A for adultery, Prynne is ostracized by the public, and a drummer boy is charged to follow her whenever she comes to town.
