8John Heard, Meg Foster, Kevin ConwayThe Scarlet Letter is a 1979 miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Nathaniel Hawthorne: it aired on WGBH from March 3, 1979 to March 24, 1979. The series is four episodes long, 60 minutes each. Part 2 won the 1979 Emmy Award for Outstanding Video Tape Editing for a Limited Series or Special for film editors Ken Denisoff, Janet McFadden, and Tucker Wiard. In 1979, when most literary programs were being produced in the United Kingdom, Boston public television station WGBH decided to produce a homegrown literary classic of its own. The result was this version of Hawthorne's enduring novel of Puritan America in search of its soul. Hester Prynne becomes stigmatized after committing adultery, and is doomed to live with the consequences forever. Hawthorne's themes, the nature of sin, social hypocrisy, and community repression, still reverberate through American society. Hester Prynne is a young, Puritan woman who commits adultery while her husband is in Europe, and, upon the birth of her illegitimate child, is subsequently condemned to wear a scarlet "A" for the rest of her life.

One patient, Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro), emerges from his life-long stupor, inspiring Sayer to administer the treatment to others with miraculous results. As Leonard grapples with a world drastically changed, and Sayer faces the implications of his medical breakthrough, the film explores human resilience and the power of medical science. This drama, based on a true story, was nominated for three Academy Awards.More Awakenings- #40 of 133 onThe Most Utterly Depressing Movies Ever Made
