Review of Miss Sadie Thompson (1953) by Tara H — 11 Jan 2018
A third adaptation of Somerset Maugham's short story, 'Rain', with Rita Hayworth following in the hallowed footsteps of Gloria Swanson and Joan Crawford. Rita's at her fiery best during the film's musical numbers, and Jose Ferrer is creepily effective as her moral nemesis.
But the original story is bowdlerised by the censorship of fifties Hollywood, and a lame romantic subplot doesn't help either.
