rain star joan crawford a fun time gal sadie thomson and walter huston a the preacher try to save her . director lewis milestone have a great eye for the visuals with the close ups of rain in river and sand and and tree in the beginning and near the end . besides the two lead and there also good performance by guy kibbee a the hotel owner that house crawford and huston and beulah bondi a huston wife and and william gargan a crawford navy protector . two of the best scene be when huston repeatedly say the lord prayer a crawford become mesmerise and start say it herself and huston final scene a he say a silent prayer to himself before he change his expression to one in which he seem about to lose self control before he rush to where crawford reside . i wish question about sadie time in san francisco have be answer . other than that and i find this to be a compelling pre code drama about individuality vs. conformity . for crawford and huston fan and this be well worth seek out .
