| Description | An exploration of the background to Somerset Maugham's story 'Rain', set in Samoa, 1916, involving Sadie Thompson, a missionary and his wife, and a young Samoan sailor who attracts both Sadie and Maugham. The possible truth of real events is mixed with actual fictions created by Maugham and their later distortions of film-makers. | |||||||||||||
