The Rains Came (1939)

In the exotic land of Ranchipur, India, the audacious Lady Edwina Esketh sails into the princely state with her husband, Lord Albert Esketh, whose eyes are set on acquiring the Maharajah's prestigious horses. Unexpectedly, she crosses paths with an old acquaintance, Tom Ransome, an artist who arrived seven years prior to paint the Maharajah's portrait, only to be entranced by the vibrant land and its people, leading him to become a permanent fixture of the locale. Ransome is notorious for his indulgences - womanizing and excessive drinking - but this only adds to the allure for the thrill-seeking Edwina, who finds herself drawn to the tantalizing chaos of Ranchipur. Simultaneously, she encounters the dedicated Major Rama Safti, an Indian aristocrat who left the comfort of his noble life to train as a doctor in the U.S., only to return and dedicate his life to the impoverished people of his homeland. Despite Safti's initial resistance to her flirtations, Edwina's allure is not easily ignored. However, their budding romance is tested when the seasonal rains arrive, transforming the landscape into a sea of turmoil. Tragedy strikes as a dam collapses, flooding the countryside and setting the stage for an outbreak of disease. As the crisis unfolds, the once carefree Ransome and the adventurous Edwina find themselves working tirelessly alongside Safti to rescue as many lives as possible from the jaws of disaster. In the face of adversity, their lives intertwine in ways they never imagined, as the catastrophic events prompt a re-evaluation of their priorities, forging bonds of camaraderie and awakening a spirit of selflessness. Yet, fate has its own plans, and the trio must navigate the turbulent waters of love, sacrifice, and destiny amidst the relentless rains of Ranchipur.
