The Rainmaker

Fun version of classic play
The story is cheesy for sure, but there is something so delightful about this movie. (think it definitely comes from the play it is based on along with the lightness that Lancaster and Hepburn give their characters.) Great guilty pleasure of a simpler time and a simpler time in movie-making!

The Rainmaker - a few memories
Earl Holloman earned a Golden Globe for his role in this film. The movie was produced more as a stage play rather than the editing and cutting of a typical film. It is most enjoyable. Earl, at 85, is the only remaining cast member from this film - and he remains humbled by the accolades he received for his work.

The Rainmaker (1956)
This is the re-released version of the 1956 The Rainmaker, starring Burt Lancaster. WB released a bunch of Paramount titles and this is one of them. This movie stars; Burt, Katharine Hephburn, Wendell Corey, Lloyd Bridges and Earl Holliman. The movie is presented in Widescreen, color and runs for about 121mins (2hr 01mins). This is an excellent Western about love. Overall this is a great movie and I would recommend it.
