This is my favorite movie of all time--I first saw it on TV as a teenager and have never forgotten it. I can't add anything more to the reviews already posted that outline the plot. Just buy it--you'll want to watch it over and over. It is the saddest happiest weepiest sweetest movie you will ever see. I promise.

Break out the Kleenex and have a good cry. I am so pleased that a DVD of this film has finally been released, especially now that the great Jane Wyman has passed from the scene. Co-star Van Johnson was never better as the out-of-town GI on leave in New York City. The supporting cast add depth to the story that will remain with you long after seeing this very special film. And, yes, true love never dies.

Sorry folks, I was disappointed. Definately not a tear jerker. The only part I liked was when Ruthie's dad came back to see her mom. When Arthur's ghost brought that coin back, I just shook my head. It can't happen and it don't happen. Also the movie had too much filler. I won't go into detail, because you'll probably disagree with me anyway. The affair Ruthie's boss was having was a big negative in the story. I was glad when his "girl friend" called it quits and left. I'm only glad I didn't pay full price for for this film.

Miracle in the Rain is the story of a typical girl from New York. Ruth (Jane Wyman) works in an office and lives with her mother. Her father ran away when she was younger, and her mother desperately hopes for his return. As a result, she warns Ruth away from men, but they prove to be unavoidable. A solider on leave, Art Hugenon, stumbles upon her in the rain one day. He tags along to her home for dinner and spends the next few days taking her to the park, out to dinner, and anywhere else she wants to go. He is called to battle sooner than he had hoped, but leaves an engagement ring with Ruth and a promise of his love for her.
This is not your typical wartime romance; it is much more realistic than a film like The Clock with Judy Garland. However, it retains the classic movie touch that makes it a million times more emotional and memorable than any movie made today. The two stars are wonderful in their parts. Wyman says so much without uttering a word, and Johnson's boyish charms leave no one guessing as to how Ruth could fall so quickly.
There are some wonderful extra features included here like a short about how film is processed and another that visits the set of this movie and interviews its stars. They are sparse, but worthwhile.

`Miracle in the Rain' is a could-be classic. Off the radar screen, `Miracle...' is an offbeat adventure, celebrating ordinary people coming to life when able to do so. Both romantic and religious, it stars Jane Wyman in a remarkable performance as Ruth Wood, a spinster caught in life's dreary web. She meets Private Art Huegenot (played with lively spirit by Van Johnson*--not my favorite actor--in a role of a lifetime.) The developments are life-changing and exuberant.
The story begins with Ruth going to work. Quiet, she works in an office with a blond bombshell who makes out with the boss in his office. Nearby, a young man keeps a map in front and keeps track of the raging war. And as a consolation, a kindly woman offers to take the edge off of Ruth's solitary existence. Later, in a New York rainstorm, she bumps into Private Art, who, given a pass to enjoy the city, can only glower about rain and everything else. Charming the socks off Ruth, who knows nothing but her day job and her night support of her ailing and abandoned mother, he convinces her to let him show her the town she`s never seen before. Cautiously, she warms up to him. When there's freedom at point zero, both the colorful extravert and the shy recluse hit it off. Then, the specter of war looms over them both. Having lost her father who abandoned both her mother and herself, she can only feel bitterly cheated, missing out on a brief awakening in her sadly pedestrian life. The movie interweaves the stories skillfully many years before modern movies like today do.
`Miracle in the Rain' deserves to be unearthed by classic movie fans. At first the characters and development are genuine and believable. Later, a good film becomes a fine one with loose ends coming together and a satisfying resolution for those who love old-fashioned movies. Rent or buy 'Miracle in the Rain,' and it could the next 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
*Johnson often played the stock garrulous roles. Here he's perfect.
