Scarlet Saint, also known as The Scarlet Sinner,[1] is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by George Archainbaud and starring Mary Astor, Lloyd Hughes, and Frank Morgan.[2] [3] The film's sets were designed by the art director Milton Menasco.
As described in a film magazine review, a young woman who as a girl was betrothed to an Austrian baron decides on the eve of the wedding that she cannot marry the titled man because she is in love with a young American. The baron tricks the other man into a duel and forces the woman into marriage to save the younger man from a long term in jail. After a long period of struggle to retain his wife, the baron at length releases her and wishes her happiness with the American.
With no prints of Scarlet Saint located in any film archives,[4] it is a lost film.
