商品簡介
"Rain", charts the moral disintegration of a missionary attempting to convert the Pacific island prostitute Sadie Thompson. It was nearly bed-time and when they awoke next morning land would be in sight. Dr. Macphail lit his pipe and, leaning over the rail, searched the heavens for the Southern Cross. After two years at the front and a wound that had taken longer to heal than it should, he was glad to settle down quietly at Apia for twelve months at least, and he felt already better for the journey.Rain has kept its reputation and has been adapted as a play and as several films. A boat, which was en route to another port, is temporarily stranded on the South Pacific island village of Pago Pago due to a possible cholera outbreak on-board. Discharging among others, Alfred Davidson, a self-righteous missionary, his prim, proper wife, and Sadie Thompson, a prostitute. Sadie spends her time partying and drinking with the American soldiers stationed on the island. Sergeant Tim O'Hara, nicknamed by Sadie as "Handsome", falls in love with her. Her wild behavior soon becomes more than the Davidsons can stand and Mr. Davidson confronts Sadie, resolving to save her soul. However, when she rebels and dismisses his offer, Davidson has the governor order her deported to San Francisco, United States where she apparently committed a crime years earlier. She begs Davidson to allow her to remain on the island a few more days; her plan is to flee to Sydney, Australia instead. During a heated argument with Davidson, Sadie suddenly experiences a religious conversion and agrees to return to San Francisco and the jail sentence that is waiting for her there. The evening before she is to leave, Sergeant O'Hara asks Sadie to marry him and offers to hide her until the Sydney boat sails, but she is under Davidson's spell and refuses. Later, while native drums beat, Davidson succumbs to Sadie's beauty and accosts her. The next morning, he is found dead on the ocean shore — a suicide. Now disillusioned with Davidson's teachings, Sadie switches back to her old self and goes off to Sydney with O'Hara to start a new life.
