Rating:No Rating
Genre:Drama
Release Date:January 1, 1965
Running time:100 minutes
Cast:Lee Remick, Steve McQueen, Don Murray, Paul Fix, Josephine Hutchinson
Director:Robert Mulligan
Writer:Horton Foote

Description: Adapted by Horton Foote from his own play The Travelling Lady, Baby the Rain Must Fall stars Steve McQueen as a troube-prone country singer and Lee Remick as his estranged wife. Released on parole after serving time for knifing a man, McQueen returns to Remick and their young daughter Kimberly Block. When he proves incapable of supporting his family, McQueen's violent nature erupts once more, with catastrophic results. Don Murray costars as a compassionate sheriff who tries to keep McQueen from straying off course. Though it seems to go on forever when seen today, Baby the Rain Must Fall was praised effusively by the critics in 1965 as a welcome change of pace for action star Steve McQueen; The film would make an interesting companion feature for the strikingly similar Horton Foote project Tender Mercies (1983).~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
