   Not too long ago, I caught the middle of The Rains Fell on TV and was blown away by the earthquake/flood sequence. That they could achieve something so epic, so real-looking, so savage in 1939, just floored me. I endeavored to watch the listings and see it whole as soon as I could. That time has come. Other than that incredible sequence, the film is a pretty standard melodrama set in exotic India, so we are stuck with colonial attitudes and blacked-up actors. Still, taking that as a problem of the era, one can still enjoy Myrna Loy as a flighty aristocrat who finds a calling after the crisis (and the same for George Brent's layabout artist), the earthquake a metaphorical upheaval in their lives as well as a physical one, and the rains of course washing away the unhappiness of the past. As melodramas go, then, this is a good one, though dated in all but special effects (cuz I still don't know how it was all done). 5 years 8 months ago
