		Sadie under the constant threats from Davidson finally gives in to his reforming zeal and begins to repent her former free living lifestyle and she turns Tim away as she prepares to follow Davidson's advice and return to San Francisco to serve her sentence.
		Just when Sadie is at her most vulnerable however Davidson sees the hypocrisy of his own existence as a man of reform and kills himself thus freeing Sadie from ruining her own life.
		One of the miracles of "Sadie Thompson", is that it was ever produced at all in the light of the tight Hays Code censorship that made filming of such a story literally impossible at this time.

		Sadie Thompson was a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, cheap and easy, with a little mystery added to her as well.
		Sadie shacks up at a local hotel with a bunch of army guys boozing and dancing it up but also staying at this hotel is a group of missionaries with their strong religious beliefs.
		Sadie lashes out and shouts, "How do you know what I've suffered?" "Your God and I could never be shipmates...you tell him Sadie Thompson is on her way to hell!" This scene alone should have earned Crawford an academy award for her amazing performance.

		The earlier film boasted a divinely louche Joan Crawford as a strumpet stuck on Pago Pago for a week in between ships; Rita Hayworth in Miss Sadie Thompson is not so much a doxy as she is a gal with moxie.
		Sadie ultimately does find salvation in the form of a marriage proposal from pit bull marine Phil O'Hara (Aldo Ray).
		Notwithstanding its paternalistic sexual politics and cultural fetishizing, Miss Sadie Thompson is a fascinating case study of stardom; think of it as the coming of middle age in Samoa for Rita Hayworth.

Director Raoul Walsh wrote the scenario adaptation and also stepped in front of the cameras to portray the Marine sergeant who protects and falls for Sadie.

	Movie Review - Miss Sadie Thompson - Hollywood Bitchslap
		She was also a dancer, and probably wrote "actress" on her tax forms, but when all is said and done, she will be remembered as a celebrity who looked fantastic, had a couple of high-profile marriages, and made a couple of pretty good movies.
		Sadie winds up paired off with O'Hara because, basically, he bullies and tricks other guys into staying away from her.
		Davidson is played as a hypocrite, of course, but his leap from a hypocrite who uses his religion to justify his intolerance to the type who acts contrary to his sermonizing is abrupt and seems out of character, nearly as much so as the way he removes himself from the proceedings.
