The first film dealing with dope addiction made with the prior approval of the industry’s self-governing Production Code, A Hatful of Rain is more than a story of a junkie.

TCM shows this once in a great while, but in a crummy looking pan-and-scan print. This is a major improvement. Thanks for making it available.
