Listen "2.15 Sadie Thompson-When it Rains, it Pours"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textToday I am discussing the 1928 film Sadie Thompson. The film tells the story of Sadie Thompson, a woman of questionable moral character, and Mr. Davidson, the devout missionary who makes it his mission to reform her while they are both forced to stay on a remote Pacific island. Listen now to hear about the troubles the film faced in being made, how Swanson's performance can be related to her later work in Sunset Boulevard, and as always, my own thoughts about the film.Resources:Read the short storyRead the playWatch the filmSupport the show
