Top notch cast- (After all it is Vincent Price) great acting- great scenery and house-not even to bad a story line. Not really much to criticize about the movie except-- sooooo far from being true to original book. Nathaniel Hawthorne would turn over in his grave if he knew what they did to his story, and I must say- not an improvement. I mean, did they really have to invent parts to the story that were not even in the book. If you are going to use some ones book as a title for your movie- you really should at least try to stick somewhat to the story. Still, if you have never read the book- a decent movie- considering it was 1940. Again- Vincent Price!! And after all- it is hard to cram any novel into 2 hrs.
