Sadie Thompson Inn
The Sadie Thompson
Inn is a historic building in Malaloa, one of the constituent villages of Pago Pago in American Samoa.
The building is noted as the guest house where from mid-December 1916 author W. Somerset Maugham resided for six weeks during an extended trip through the South Sea Islands.
He described it as a" dilapidated lodging house with a corrugated tin roof" and complained that he contracted" a stubborn rash, no doubt fungus" while at the hotel, and of the weeks it took to cure it.
The building was subsequently the setting of his short story" Rain", published in 1921, which depicted a psychological battle of wits between a wayward, on- the- run prostitute, Sadie Thompson, and a conservative, self- righteous missionary.
Although conclusive evidence is lacking, Maugham, apparently, was indeed in residence at the lodging house with a real person named Sadie Thompson, who reportedly had been driven from a red light district in Honolulu.
Considered one of Maugham's more noteworthy works, the story was later adapted to the stage and brought to the screen three times.
The first film was the 1928 silent" Sadie Thompson", starring Gloria Swanson as the titular character and Lionel Barrymore as Alfred Davidson, the missionary.
Just four years later, in 1932, it was filmed again as" Rain", with Joan Crawford as Sadie and Walter Huston, the missionary.
And in 1953," Miss Sadie Thompson" was released in Technicolor, featuring Rita Hayworth and José Ferrer.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 as the Sadie Thompson Building.
Previously, it had been known as the Meredith Building, the Haleck Building, and as simply Boarding House.
At the time of its NRHP listing, the structure was being utilized as a department store on the first floor and a restaurant on its second.
It is currently used as a hotel and restaurant.
The Sadie Thompson Inn is historically significant for its association with Somerset Maugham during the waning years of the British Empire in the South Sea Islands.
Maugham stayed at the lodging house from December 16, 1916 to January 30, 1917.
Pal Joey (film)
Pal Joey is a 1957 American Technicolor musical film, loosely adapted from the musical play of the same name, and starring Rita Hayworth, Frank Sinatra, and Kim Novak.
Jo Ann Greer sang for Hayworth, as she had done previously in" Affair in Trinidad" and" Miss Sadie Thompson".
Kim Novak's singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Stevens.
George Sidney directed, with the choreography managed by Hermes Pan.
Nelson Riddle handled the musical arrangements for the Rodgers and Hart standards
" The Lady is a TrampI Did n't Know What Time It Was, I Could Write a Book" and" There's A Small Hotel."
Sinatra won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role as the wise- cracking, hard- bitten Joey Evans.
Along with its strong box office success," Pal Joey" also earned four Academy Award nominations and one Golden Globe nomination.
" Pal Joey" is one of Sinatra's few post-" From Here to Eternity" movies in which he did not receive top billing, which surprisingly went to Hayworth.
Sinatra was, by that time, a bigger star, and his title role was predominant.
When asked about the billing, Sinatra replied," Ladies first."
He was also quoted as saying that, as it was a Columbia film, Hayworth should have top billing because," For years, she WAS Columbia Pictures", and that with regard to being billed" between" Hayworth and Novak," That's a sandwich I do n't mind being stuck in the middle of."
As Columbia ’s biggest star, Hayworth had been top billed in every film since" Cover Girl" in 1944, but her tenure was soon to end, in 1959 with Gary Cooper in" They Came to Cordura."
