The Scar of Shame
''The Scar of Shame'' is a silent film, which was filmed in 1926 and released in 1929.
It was produced by the Colored Players Film Corporation of Philadelphia, in one of the earliest examples of "race movies", in which an entirely black cast performed a feature film specifically for a black audience. The film was produced and written by David Starkman and was directed by Frank Peregini, both white.
==Introduction==
''The Scar of Shame'' was a black silent melodrama with black actors written for a predominantly black audience. 〔 Cripps, Thomas. Black Film as Genre. Indiana University Press, 1978. Print〕Melodramas were the genre of choice for early 20th century black filmmakers. This film emerged during a time of great breakthroughs in not only African American film but all art with the Harlem Renaissance when “a new sense of black consciousness emerged” 〔 Diakite, Madubuko. Film Culture and the Black Filmmaker: A Study of Functional Relationships and Parallel Developments. New York: Arno Press, 1980. Print. 〕 likely after witnessing the bravery of African American soldiers in World War I. This was a collaboration of a “black cast, white crew and interracial production team”〔 Cripps, Thomas. Black Film as Genre. Indiana University Press, 1978. Print. 〕 produced by the conspicuously named “Colored Players” who were mostly white, in 1927. The Scar of Shame was one of the only three films produced by this company which was founded in 1926 in Philadelphia by a generous investment. 〔 Wood, Bret. “The Scar of Shame.” Turner Classic Movies. Web. 14 February 2011.〕
In Jane Gaine’s article on ''Skin Color and Caste in Black Melodrama'',” she claims that the film mostly takes its substance from D.W. Griffith’s films: Intolerance (1916) and Broken Blossoms (1919). 〔 Gaines, Jane. “The Scar of Shame: Skin Color and Caste in Black Silent Melodrama.” Representing Blackness. Ed. Valerie Smith. New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1997. 61-82. Print〕 There are undeniable similarities between the films with scenes such as Spike beating Louise matching up remarkably with paternal beatings of the character Lucy in Broken Blossoms and so forth.
