Rain is a 1932 American drama film directed by Lewis Milestone, based on W. Somerset Maugham's short story *Miss Thompson*. Set in the South Seas, the story follows Sadie Thompson, a spirited and defiant woman who arrives in Pago Pago and clashes with Alfred Davidson, a self-righteous missionary determined to reform her. As Davidson's moral facade crumbles, Sadie confronts her own struggles and ultimately finds redemption. The film is notable for its exploration of themes like hypocrisy, morality, and resilience, with Joan Crawford delivering a powerful performance as Sadie Thompson.
