This was a flop at the time but it stands up well. Joan Crawford plays Sadie Thompson, a prostitute that tempts a missionary. He tries to get her deported and also tries to save her soul. One person on imdb.com said that this movie can make you uncomfortable at times. I agree. It deals with the nature of good and evil effectively. This was based on a W. Somerset Maugham story. He was a great writer. I read a lot by him during the ages of 12-14. The first thing I'll read will be Rain. There's also Sadie Thompson with Gloria Swanson and Miss Sadie Thompson with Rita Hayworth. This story got remade a lot.
