A melodrama starring Tyrone Power, Myrna Loy & George Brent as a love triangle set in India during the rainy season. Brent is an expat wasting his time as a drunk in the sweltering heat going from party to party feeding into his reputation as a ladies man of ill-repute, Power (in charcoal face) is his friend & doctor to the local masses & Loy is a recent unhappy arrival married to a businessman more at home verbally abusing his valet than accepting the situation he finds himself in. When a torrential rain storm hits (hence the title of this piece) followed by an earthquake (talk about continued & sustained bad luck!) the populace unites to pool whatever resources they can to help one another. Pretty good w/the situations of the soap opera variety keeping this stew of emotions near the boiling point.
