Tough-talking streetwalker Sadie Thompson (Joan Crawford) lands on Pago Pago after a cholera epidemic grounds her ship. But puritanical, humorless missionary Alfred Davidson (Walter Huston) frowns on Sadie's provocative flirting with the soldiers stationed on the island, even as he struggles with &NFi;his&NFi_; lust for her. Directed by the legendary Lewis Milestone, Rain has become a cult classic valued for its insightful social commentary.
