The Outcast (1934 film)

The Outcast is a 1934 American pre-Code drama film directed by Robert Emmett Tansey and starring Monte Blue, William Farnum, and June Clyde. The story revolves around a disgraced doctor, John Crawford (played by Monte Blue), who attempts to redeem himself after being wrongly accused of malpractice. He isolates himself in a remote area and dedicates his life to helping the local community. William Farnum portrays a character who initially judges Dr. Crawford harshly, but eventually comes to respect him. June Clyde plays a woman who develops a romantic interest in Dr. Crawford. The film explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the importance of community. Although a relatively obscure film, The Outcast is notable for featuring William Farnum, a popular silent film star, in a supporting role. The movie was produced by an independent studio and its distribution was limited, contributing to its present-day obscurity.
