| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis remake, starring Lana Turner, of the 1939 The Rains Came is not as compelling, but the special effects (nominated for Oscar) are good |
| User Reviewjay nNot as good as the original The Rains Came but an entertaining movie with good special effects. |
| User ReviewGreg WUninteresting melodrama that only pricked my interest due to the two leads. A 'nothing' story with lacklustre performances from the entire cast, with Burton particularly unconvincing as an Indian doctor. And if all that isnt bad enough - the third act plumbs new depths in Special Effects and stock footage! Poor! |
