Movie Review: Miracle in the Rain
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful classic tear jerker. The movie is filmed in New York City in the 1940's. Jane Wyman is a spinster who works for a small shoe company. Her life consists of going to work and caring for her insecure mother. Her father left for another woman and the mother never got over it. One rainy day, she meets a soldier, played by Van Johnson. There first date is chaperoned by her best friend, Eileen Hackett. While walking around in the city, they are drawn to an auction. For some strange reason, Jane feels she must buy an old Roman coin. This coin, will be the miracle of the story. After a few dates, they begin to fall in love and he is called off to war. Ladies, make sure you have tissues when watching this movie.Movie Review: My Favorite Movie of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
The quality of the print and sound on this dvd is as good as one could hope for. I was seeing things in the background I had never know where there before. And the two behind the scenes features and trailer were outstanding glimpses of the making of the film. Who would have imagined that these existed and that someone would find them after all these years. Two great actors and a great story. Without any effort you feel like you are sharing their world. The simple, unadorned treatment here allows the viewer to follow the beautiful, heartfelt story to its conclusion. It is a bitter-sweet tale, but somehow after it is over you feel richer for the experience.Movie Review: Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it's a tear jerker, but of the best kind. The characters are believable for the era, and represent heartwarming values we'd do well to incorporate in our own lives, and teach our young ones. Listing those virtues would give away too much, and they'll be obvious when you watch. I first saw this movie as a 12 or 14 year old, and learned about devotion and love. I watched for TV showtimes every year - and occasionally Miracle in the Rain showed up. Being able to own a copy means I can show it to my (age appropriate) grandchildren some day - yes, it's that good - not to be missed by anyone who's ever loved someone - or wants to learn how.
Movie Review: HEARTBREAKER
Summary: 5 Stars
to call this particular film a 'tearjerker' is an extreme understatement. it is not a 'tearjerker' but a 'heartbreaker'. normally i avoid hokey love stories like the plague. this one is different, however. it doesn't gently tug at the heartstrings but pulls them unmercifully. Wyman gives perhaps the greatest performance of her career, possibly rivaling her performance in "Johnny Belinda" (for which she won the coveted oscar). she is such a cutie. you cannot resist falling in love her with.
as for the DVD, the transfer is excellent and the sound adequate, though on some player you may have to adjust the volume higher than normal.

Miracle in the Rain
If you enjoy movies from the 40's and 50's. Also, you enjoy black and white movies. And, if you enjoy movies that have a great story and the actors really know how to lose themselves in a part and are believable, then you will really like this movie. Sit back and let Jane Wyman and Van Johnson, and a number of other great bit-part actors create the miracle that will make a believer out of you... that true love does conquer all.
