Passions in paradise
Rita Hayworth hardly fit Somerset Maugham’s physical description of Miss Sadie Thompson in his short story on which the film is based.

“She was twenty-seven perhaps, plump, and in a coarse fashion pretty. She wore a white dress and a large white hat. Her fat calves in white cotton stockings bulged over the tops of long white boots in glace kid”.

However she captured the spirit of the character and I think the film does do justice to Maugham’s story. It was updated to the 1950’s and opened out with the introduction of other characters – Aldo Ray and his U.S. Marine buddies – but the conflict between the missionary and the bar girl thrown together in Pago-Pago when their ship is quarantined still has bite.

I first saw this film in the late 50’s and thought it was pretty powerful – you didn’t hear words like ‘prostitute’ bandied around too often in movies back then.

José Ferrer ate up the role of Mr Davidson, the missionary who sets himself up as the anti-fun police and attempts to save Sadie’s soul whether she wanted it saved or not – all the while suppressing a dark side.

Aldo Ray was good as O’Hara, the tough marine sergeant who also wants to save Sadie from her previous life. The marines seemed a little over-caricaturised. It wouldn’t have come as a surprise if they’d broken into a chorus of “There’s Nothing Like a Dame”.

But this film is Rita Hayworth’s. Catching the brashness of Sadie, she showed her range; very different to the soft-voiced femme fatale she often played. She sings and dances with stocky Aldo Ray, and is still a luminous presence. According to Peter Ford’s biography of his father, “Glenn Ford: A Life”, Rita desperately wanted Glenn to play O’Hara and go to Hawaii with her. This was at a time when she was beginning to show signs of the problems that would blight the rest of her life – Glenn Ford always provided an emotional safety net for her.

This film looks good and the story of barely repressed lust with its shock ending still stands up. And of course, a film such as “Miss Sadie Thompson” takes on another dimension knowing the course of the lives of the fascinating people who made it.

Diluted Maugham…still a minor entertainment for star-watchers
W. Somerset Maugham’s story “Miss Thompson”, previously filmed in 1928 as “Sadie Thompson” with Gloria Swanson, and again as “Rain” with Joan Crawford in 1932, is altered for this brightly-colored 1953 version. Rita Hayworth gets the showy title role here, and she’s erratic but serviceable as the wild party girl on the run from police who ends up on a tropical island along with two traveling couples, including a disapproving stuffed shirt who is determined to reform her. Sadie is a cabaret entertainer this time–and a maybe/maybe not prostitute–while her redeemer is no longer a missionary but an important figurehead who specializes in shutting down places of immorality. Aldo Ray livens things up as a smitten Marine sergeant stationed on the island who falls in love with Sadie, but dull, silver-haired Jose Ferrer never convinces as Mr. Davidson while the stereotypical natives act as if they just wandered over from the 1932 version! As for Miss Hayworth, she’s quite fetching in the early half of the picture–flirtatious and fun-loving–but the seriousness of the second act defeats her, along with everyone else. The narrative, unsteady to begin with, completely breaks down in the final reel; Sadie gets her happy ending, but it’s the audience who is left marooned. ** from ****
