They hatch a plan to elect the statesman president on the show-window antics of the showman. Miss Colbert and the statesman's butler are deceived by the imposture...

The basic trouble really is that Rain is presented as a classic, not as the 10-20-30 melodrama of popping sex and fanaticism that Maugham wrote. Typical shot: a closeup of the name Golden Gate on the side of a ship, spelled out letter by letter, three times in succession, possibly to create suspense...
