Not knowing anything about this movie, I happened to pick it up on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). What a pleasing, warm and emotional experience have I just had!
The definition of a great movie is one that "talks" to you, and this one, with its universal themes of dreams and self belief, did just that.
Folk who complain about the cheesy sets and so on have missed the point. This is a film about the human condition. Each character has a place, and is well crafted. Each character is properly formed. Loved that the Rainmaker developed as a character too.
The ending was the best part.
Full credit to the screen writer. In creating this piece, fittingly to the themes he created, did something worthwhile with his life.
