Rain
A woman without shame. A woman without soul.
Directed by Lewis Milestone
Produced by Feature Productions, United Artists
A morally complex pre-Code drama about religious hypocrisy and moral judgment, centered on a clash between a fallen woman and a zealous missionary trapped together by quarantine and rain.
Due to a possible cholera epidemic onboard, passengers on a ship are forced to disembark at Pago Pago, a small village on a Pacific island where it incessantly rains. Among the stranded passengers are Sadie Thompson, a prostitute, and Alfred Davidson, a fanatic missionary who will try to redeem her.
