The Rains Came is the title of novel by Louis Bromfield and the 1939 20th Century Fox film version which followed it.
The film was directed by Clarence Brown and starred Tyrone Power, Myrna Loy, George Brent, Brenda Joyce, Nigel Bruce and Maria Ouspenskaya. The plot follows the romantic entanglement of an Indian doctor, a British woman and her former (also British) flame.
It was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning -- due to its spectacular earthquake and flood sequences -- in the category of "Special Effects and Sound Effects".
It was remade in (1955) as The Rains of Ranchipur, with Richard Burton, Lana Turner and Fred MacMurray in the Power, Loy and Brent roles.Template:Film-stub
