It is set in the marvellous India , in the mythical city of Ranchipur, there a married British woman : Myrna Loy living a loveless marriage to Nígel Bruce , then she reunites with her old flame : George Brent , a slacker and drunk aristocrat . But socialite Myrna chases extramarital love interests , one of them results to be a potential heir : Tyrone Power to the Maharaja throne and an expert surgeon too . When in Ranchipur takes a quake Myrna Loy aids the doctor in healing the wounded people .
This one results to be itself not much more than a transposition of "Hurricane" 1936 by John Ford with Dorothy Lamour and John Hall . This interesting film The Rains Came 1939 contains good feeling , emotion , self-sacrifice and redemption . Hightlights of the movie happen when an earthquake hits and brings major destruction in the city , made with excellent special effects. Being based and adapted from the Louis Bromfield best seller novel. Main and support cast are pretty well . Myrna Loy is fine as the socialite memsahib who has a long past of lovers . Tyrone Power is nice as a compassionate surgeon in tasteful brownface . Along with classic actor George Brent and other notorious secondaries as Nígel Bruce of Sherlock Holmes movies , Brenda Joyce of Tarzan films , Maria Ouspenskaya of Universal Terror , Henry Travers of It's wonderful life , Jane Darwell of John Ford films , Joseph Schildkraut , H.B Warner , among others . It had a redundant scope/colour remake , titled "Rains of Ranchipur" 1955 by Jean Negulesco with Richard Burton as an ulikely Hindu , Lana Turner , Fred McMurray , Joan Caufield.
It packs sensitive and stirring musical score by Alfred Newman. As well as superlative camerawork by Arthur Miller . This overrated motion picture was compellingly directed by Clarence Brown. He was a prestigious Hollywood filmmaker who made important movies , such as : "The Eagle, Flesh and devil, The Trail of 98, Anna Christie , Sadie Mckee , Anna Karenina , The Gorgeous Hussy , Idiot's Delight , Edison the Man, National Velvet, The Yearling , Intruder in the Dust" , among others . Rating : 7/10 . Better than average , hankies should be kept handy .
