Baby, the Rain Must Fall (1965)
Member Rating:  
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, Rovi

Steve S.

Early Steve McQueen film that helped establish him as a screen rebel. Based on Horton Foote's "The Traveling Lady", fim captures the dusty, rural Texas land of lost souls and opportunities. Film seems somwhow disjointed and looses itself in the third act. McQueen's musical dubbing is laughable.
