- Synopsis:
In 17th-century Salem, Hester Prynne (Senta Berger) must wear a scarlet...A because she is an adulteress, with a child out of wedlock. For seven years, she has refused to name the father. A vigorous older stranger arrives, recognized by Hester but unknown to others as her missing husband. He poses as Chillingworth (Hans Christian Blech), a doctor, watching Hester and searching out the identity of her lover. His eye soon rests on Dimmesdale (Lou Castel), a young overwrought pastor. Enmity grows between the two men; Chillingworth applies psychological pressure, and the pastor begins to crack. A ship stops in Salem, and Hester sees it as a providential refuge for her daughter, herself, and her lover. But will Dimmesdale flee with her? - Actors:
