Sadie Thompson
Sadie could storm any barrack she attacked! Magnetism had never been heard of until she hit town! What a woman! You'll say so, too!
Directed by Raoul Walsh
Produced by Gloria Swanson Pictures
A morally charged romantic drama set against tropical isolation, where a fallen woman's redemption through love collides with religious zealotry and social judgment.
A young, beautiful prostitute named Sadie Thompson arrives on the South Pacific island of Pago Pago looking for honest work and falls for Timothy O'Hara, an American sailor who is unfazed by her unsavory past. However, Mr. Davidson, a missionary who arrived on the island at the same time, aims to "save" Sadie from her sinful life and petitions to have her separated from her beau and deported back to San Francisco.
