    • Reception

    In order to play up Theda Bara's image as a vamp, Fox Film Corporation publicized the film with the tagline "Sin With Theda Bara!". Upon its release, Sin was an enormous hit with audiences and Bara earned generally good reviews for her performance. In spite of its success, the film was banned in Ohio and Georgia due to its themes of suicide, lust, Roman Catholic sacrilege and love triangles. The Pittsburgh Board of Welfare condemned the film as did the Kansas Board of Censorship (which apparently still allowed the film to run in Kansas theaters).
