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,[4] 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.
