An American drama directed by Lewis Milestone, starring Joan Crawford.
A ship is held up because of weather conditions and the passengers all have to stay at a general store on an island. Two of those passengers are an insane priest and a wild and free party girl. The priest sinks his bible-thumping claws into this young woman and brainwashes her with religious dogma.
Being a devout atheist, I liked the plot and the characters very much. The priest played his role very much like most religious nuts and the poor girl was clearly tormented past her breaking point. Joan Crawford was a real scorcher in this film. The style and production value were absolutely prehistoric and left much to be desired. I'm rating it good anyway because the ending (which I'm not spoiling) was the way that I would want it.
