Rain is a 1932 South Seas drama film directed by Lewis Milestone with portions filmed at Santa Catalina Island, California. The film stars Joan Crawford as prostitute Sadie Thompson and features Walter Huston as a conflicted missionary who wants to reform Sadie, but whose own morals start decaying. Crawford was loaned out by MGM to United Artists for this film.
The plot of the film is based on the 1923 play Rain by John Colton and Clemence Randolph, which in turn was based on the short story "Miss Thompson" (later retitled "Rain") by W. Somerset Maugham. Actress Jeanne Eagels had played the role on stage. Other movie versions of the story include: a 1928 silent film titled Sadie Thompson starring Gloria Swanson, and the heavily sanitized Miss Sadie Thompson (1953), which starred Rita Hayworth.
In 1960, the film entered the public domain in the USA due to the copyright claimants failure to renew the copyright registration in the 28th year after publication.
A westbound ship en route to Apia, Samoa, is temporarily stranded at nearby Pago Pago due to a possible cholera outbreak on board. Among the passengers are Alfred Davidson, a self-righteous missionary, his wife, and Sadie Thompson, a prostitute. Thompson passes the time partying and drinking with the American Marines stationed on the island. Sergeant Tim O'Hara, nicknamed by Sadie as "Handsome", falls in love with her.

Keywords: alien, chainsaw, high-school, independent-film, spoofJoan Crawford and Walter Huston give powerful performances in this drama directed by Lewis Milestone. Controversial for its time, the film tells the story of prostitute Sadie Thompson and the lustful preacher who tries to 'save her' when their ship makes an unscheduled stop over on the South Sea island of Pago Pago.
The confrontation scene between Sadie and Davidson, when he rejects her plea for forgiveness and she goes into attack-mode, lashing out at his hypocrisy. "How do you know what I've suffered? Your God and I could never be shipmates!" she shouts wild-eyed, until finally surrendering (or does she???) to his influence by reciting the Lord's Prayer with him. Joan Crawford eyes don't blink for the entire scene. Directed by Lewis Milestone

Rain is a dark, moody 1932 motion picture directed by Lewis Milestone. The film stars Joan Crawford as Sadie Thompson and Walter Huston as a conflicted missionary who wants to reform Sadie, but whose own morals start decaying. Crawford was loaned out by MGM to United Artists for this film. The film was not well accepted in 1932 because of its very risqué story line. However over 80 years later it is a surprisingly moving film with incredible performances and a dark brooding background.
Una buena película, estrenada en 1932 y que gana con el paso del tiempo, aunque en su momento fue fracaso de público y crítica, debido a que los temas tratados en ella se consideraban ofensivos para la puritana clase estadounidense de la época. El pasaje de un barco comercial es obligado a desembarcar en la isla de Pago Pago, y mantenerse en cuarentena debido a la sospecha de una epidemia de cólera. Entre los pasajeros hay una prostituta y un misionero que la acosa con la intención de "llevarla por el buen camino". El debate que se establece entre los dos se desliza gradualmente hacia una lucha despiadada y malévola de dominación, anulación de la personalidad y sometimiento concupiscente. La lucha enfrenta diferentes concepciones de la sexualidad, de las relaciones entre hombre y mu...

The Leiden International Film Festival recently requested a version of this montage to screen at their festival. This was an extremely humbling request that I was more than happy to accommodate. This is the version the festival received. There are some notable changes, some low resolution clips swapped out but overall, this is the best and FINAL version of this montage. The response to this, both positive and negative has been tremendous. I mention negative because the criticisms helped me to grow as an editor and realize that no matter what, you truly can't please everyone. Thanks so much again everyone for checking out this montage. I really appreciate it. FILM CLIPS USED 1878 - Eadweard J. Muybridge - Pioneer of Motion Photography 1895 - Auguste & Louis Lumière- Sortie des Usines Lu...

This song was written in memory of my dear Grandpa. Lyrics taken from poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Fry: Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep And a few words added in by me. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. (That warms your heart) I am the gentle autumn rain. (That melts with tears) When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. (Songrite Copyrighted)
I woke up and you made me see, you and I we can never
All the things that we wanted to, so I set you free
Here we are, point of no return, never thought it would
crash and burn
Started out with the best of intentions I never learn
What is it that I never find
I just want a little piece of mind
Am I back on the endless road to nowhere
Why is it that I never find
All the things that I left behind
Am I back on the endless road to nowhere
Why did you leave me standing there in the rain
You said we would last forever
Was everything I said to you all in vain
I just tried to make you see
Why did you leave me standing there in the rain
We were meant to be forever
Was everything I said to you all in vain
When did we become just me
So let's drink to the life ahead, standing tall just
like you said
Only this time it's someone else that is in my bed
When you left I had much to say but today time has come
to pay
And I know how hard it is just to fly away
What is it that I never find, I just want a little
piece of mind
Am I back on the endless road to nowhere
Why is it that I never find
All the things that I left behind
Am I back on the endless road to nowhere
Why did you leave me standing there in the rain
You said we would last forever
Was everything I said to you all in vain?
I just tried to make you see
Why did you leave me standing there in the rain
We were meant to be forever
Was everything I said to you all in vain
When did we become just me
I'm standing tall just like you said
I was trying to see the life ahead
Why did you leave me standing there in the rain
You said we would last forever
Was everything I said to you all in vain?
I just tried to make you see
Why did you leave me standing there in the rain
We were meant to be forever
Was everything I said to you all in vain
