Rain
- Commentary: Under construction.
It's hard to find reviews of this film, especially by longstanding, "respectable" and respected film critics. Since I haven't seen the film, even though it's been on my radar forever, I don't have a clue, yet, as to why this is true, but that will be corrected shortly when I add it to my collection. I imagine the fact that it has been, throughout the years, so widely ignored is due to the seemingly muddled position it takes on ethical matters, which would have made it a diffcult film for critics to deal with in 1932 and, surprisingly, now.
More later.
