The movie, "It Always Rains on Sunday," may indeed be the reason why many believe England is always cloaked in rain. A discreet game of cat-and-mouse ensues between petty criminals and the relentlessly vigilant police, all while tangled love affairs ignite and extinguish like flickering candles. However, the heart of this story beats in the modest home of Rose Sandigate, a housewife entrapped in the humdrum existence of her marriage to the sedate and uninspiring George. Her life, once intertwined with the local wild boy and her former fiancé, Tommy Swann, is abruptly stirred when his specter resurfaces. Having escaped from the notorious prison of Dartmoor, Tommy seeks refuge in the familiarity of Rose. With his sudden reappearance, Rose finds herself at the crossroads of a daunting decision. Should she remain loyal to her mundane yet stable life with George, or risk it all to aid the fugitive desperado who once held her heart captive?
