miss this joan crawford classic where she play the role of sadie thompson and a woman of the street who get involve with a missionary and a soldier and sometimes play the role of good and evil . there be plenty of drum beat all the time and the rain sure come down in bucket most of the time and everything seem to be film in dark shadow . there be fisherman who be pull in their net with fish and they discover something very unusual and very large in their net . walter houston and ( alfred davidson ) and give a great support role a the missionary who battle with his lust for sadie thompson and her sexual charm . great classic film and but the acting at time get boring and rather phony sounding .
