Sadie Thompson is adapted from the 1923 play Rain by American playwrights John Colton and Clemence Randolph, which was based on British playwright W. Somerset Maugham's short story 'Miss Thompson' (later retitled 'Rain'). The story and play were adapted for the movie by American film-maker Raoul Walsh. Other movie versions of the short story include Rain (1932) (1932) and the 1953 musical Miss Sadie Thompson (1953).
