Full Plot Details

With her infant daughter Margaret Rose in tow, Georgette Thomas pulls up stakes from Tyler, Texas to head to Columbus, Texas to be reunited with her husband, Henry Thomas, who has just been released from prison on parole. Columbus is Henry's hometown. Margaret Rose has never met her father. Henry is not yet ready for this reunion as he is an irresponsible soul, who has problems looking after himself, let alone a wife and infant daughter. People in Columbus are doing whatever they can to help Henry, people such as Slim, the Deputy Sheriff who has known Henry since they were kids, and the Tillmans, who have given him a place to live as well as a job to do chores around their house. However, Henry is reluctant to give up songwriting and performing with his rockabilly band, the honky-tonks where he plays the environments which exacerbated his previous life problems. Henry has the unrealistic belief that he will become the next Elvis Presley. Beyond these issues, the biggest obstacle in the Thomases becoming a happy, united family may be Miss Kate Dawson, the judgmental woman who raised Henry. Miss Kate, who still acts as his unofficial voice of reason and who believes the only right path for Henry is to go back to school, believes that Henry has never made a good decision on his own.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Ben SachsFoote's metaphors and psychological insights are so clearly delineated that there's little room for spontaneity, though the actors do what they can with the space they're given.
User Review - 8/10 by David DHenry Thomas and the Rockabillies Henry Thomas is an aspiring musician who plays Rockabilly music. He gets into trouble and is sent to jail. When he is released, he heads to his hometown where he is split on what direction to take. His friends get him a place to stay and local job, while his mother figure recommends he goes back to school. Meanwhile, his girlfriend arrives in town and has his little girl with her that he has never met. His head is on the verge of exploding as he struggles with what to do with all these responsibilities when he just wants to become a rock star and become rich. "He never admitted he had a wife to me." Robert Mulligan, director of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Man in the Moon, Summer of '42, Same time Next Year, Kiss Me Goodbye, Clara's Heart, and The Rat Race (1960), delivers Baby, the Rain must Fall. The storyline for this picture is compelling with some good twists. The acting is first rate and the cast includes Steve McQueen, Lee Remick, Don Murray, Paul Fix, and Ruth White. "Why do I do these things? I saw the previews for this on Movies! While watching another picture and had to DVR it. This was a wonderful movie with a very eccentric lead performance from McQueen. This definitely wasn't his best movie, but it was a unique side of him on display. I recommend seeing this once. "Baby you better treat me right!" Grade: B
User Review - 6/10 by Vicky VA great little film that suffers from some comic dubbing of McQueen's singing voice. Apparently the man just couldn't carry a tune, but boy does he look like he's trying. McQueen brings a lot (singing aside) to the character of Henry Thomas, playing his despairation with a quiet simmering menace. He could have gone more stereotypical Southern yokel but plays the part with respect and depth. A good way to spend 100 minutes.
User Review - 6/10 by Jackson SA bit of a snooze. Not quite up to McQueen's usual fair but not a complete waste of time either. Kudos for the unexpected ending.
User Review - 6/10 by Ashley HBaby, the Rain Must Fall is an okay film. It is about a trouble-prone country singer and his estranged wife. Steve McQueen and Lee Remick give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Robert Mulligan did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.
User Review - 6/10 by Valerie RI had a great night on the town tonight with Hannah. She came over around 7 and we headed off to Loring Park. We got free sit-upons from Target, lay out our towels and blankets and watched a little more than half of an old movie with Southern accents, horrible scene transitions, an old woman, and the line "yo mama." When the ADD set in, we decided to hit up other parts of uptown and headed over to my favorite coffee shop- Uncommon Grounds, though we didn't decide until after the normal turn and I ended up going the wrong way down a one-way...oops. We then hopped back in the car and headed to the Artist's Quarters (near Pondie's house). We got in for free and avoided paying the 2 drink minimum or being carded. We then lasted through this not so great singer, until Brian Just came on. This guy was absolutely gorgeous, so Hannah and I arranged ourselves in our seats. When he started singing, it was heaven. Most gorgeous voice I have ever heard- Jason Mraz, Elliot Smith, Ben Folds, and Rufus Wainwright all mixed into one, and the songs he sang were beautiful. It was a musical orgasm. Hannah and went up to him afterwards and ended up each buying a CD. (And he told me to email him if I had any problems with my CD...) He also invited us to check his website and come to his next concert (which is August 13 from 8-10 at Anodyne Coffee Shop on Nicollet if you want to go). I was tempted to ask for his number or if he had a girlfriend or to just jump him right there in the middle of the bar, but resisted (I had his email address after all...) We then drove back to my house (where my car was waiting), stopping at the park and went on the swings while discussing boys and life. Ended the night listening to Brian's fabulous CD. I can't wait for the concert on Friday! And Alex is having a party on Wednesday...Could my life possibly get any better?! :)
User Review - 6/10 by James H6.5/10. Very good drama. Steve McQueen is perfectly cast. Nicely filmed in black and white. Lee Remick is very effective in a subdued role. Well written. A bit depressing though.
User Review - 6/10 by Bob Wsmall time crook trying to make a living for his family.
User Review - 6/10 by Cha tSteve McQueen sings. Early vehicle for Steve shows his acting skills (more so than 'The Blob")
