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.
- SoundtracksAgnus Dei
(Based on Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings")
Performed by Robert Shaw and the Robert Shaw Festival Singers

Featured review
Strayed from the book; even worse, made no sense whatsoever
Indians?! Excuse me? Did the person who adapted the screenplay even check out Cliffnotes to see what Hawthorne meant the plot to be?
I wouldn't mind as much if the movie had been titled differently. It's just plain disrespectful to use the name of a classic if you mean to change the whole point of the story. Moore was many things Hester shouldn't have been. Hester is a beautiful woman, a romantic, who loves but also knows, deep down, that her sin hurts herself as much as anyone else. Moore lacks any of the depth that Hester Prynne ought to have. And the ending? Pfft. Don't watch this. Read Hawthorne's book, it'll do you some good.
