Rain (1932) Joan Crawford Classic - Public Domain Movie

Starring Joan Crawford. Walter Huston, William Gargan, Walter Catlett, Mary Shaw, Matt Moore and Beulah Bondi

Rain is a 1932 classic drama starring Joan Crawford as a prostitute named Sadie Thompson. Walter Huston also stars as a conflicted missionary who wants to reform Sadie, but whose own morals start decaying. Crawford was loaned out by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to United Artists for this film, which was directed by Lewis Milestone.

Rain, is a "pre-code" release, and it was not well received, neither critically nor financially upon initial release; mainly because audiences could not accept Crawford's character, which was completely unique to anything that she had done up to that point.

The film earned $538,000 in the US and Canada, and $166,000 elsewhere, resulting in a total loss of $198,000 (in 1932).

However, over 90 years later, the film finally earned the respect that it deserves, and it's easy to see why Crawford was considered by most to be Hollywood royalty.

In 1960, due to the copyright claimant's failure to renew the copyright registration in the 28th year after publication, the film entered the list of films in the public domain in the United States.
