The rain was the most intriguing part of the movie. I could have seen that on the Weather Channel though. This movie lacked any charge whatsoever. A movie about the Great Depression would entertain you more. The only reason I stomached this movie for the duration was because the main character was walking around in her slip for the entire length of the film and I was simply stunned. You will feel nothing for these miserable people and might throw things at your TV screen in disgust. I know now why the focal point of this movie took place at a railroad crossing...it was simply a train wreck. It was produces by Martin Scorsese, a far cry from Goodfellas...he must have been on a bender and out of his mind to have put his name on this film. Total garbage. If this is what people are like in the mid-west, I will remember to simply fly over these states.
