The Scarlet Letter

Based On the book by Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Scarlet Letter is a 1911 American silent drama short film starring King Baggot, Lucille Young, and William Robert Daly. Directed by Joseph W. Smiley and George Loane Tucker and produced by Carl Laemmle's IMP Studios, the screenplay was adapted by Herbert Brenon based on the historical 1850 novel of the same title by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This second silent version of The Scarlet Letter was IMP's first "IMP Film De Luxe." While only 1000 feet (300 m) in length, it was at that time considered a feature film. It was a critical success and showcased IMP star King Baggot as a serious actor.
