The Rains Came (1939)
Director: Clarence Brown
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Skilful direction, superlative camerawork from Arthur Miller, but the script is precious twaddle about a strangled romance between a titled English coquette (Loy) and a bashful Hindu doctor (Power in tasteful brownface). Honour is saved when the monsoon comes (with spectacular earthquake to boot), bringing self-sacrifice and redemption among the suffering plague victims.Author: TM
