The Rains of Ranchipur (1955)

In the heart of India, nestled within the exotic town of Ranchipur, rich American socialite Lady Edwina Esketh has arrived in pursuit of far more than the prize stallion her English husband, Lord Albert Esketh, seeks to purchase from the Maharani. Her marriage to Albert, a title-wielding Englishman, is a facade, a hollow partnership devoid of happiness or affection. The vibrant, chaotic beauty of Ranchipur begins to stir something within the stubborn and spoiled Edwina. Her path crosses with the respected local doctor, Rama Safti, and an intense, forbidden love swiftly blossoms between them, much to the Maharani's chagrin who had grand designs for the noble doctor. Meanwhile, the shadows of Edwina's past resurface as she encounters an old acquaintance, the alcoholic and ever-observant Tom Ransome. His knowledge of her past may prove more dangerous than she would like to admit. However, Ranchipur is on the brink of calamity. An earth-shattering natural disaster strikes, quickly followed by relentless days of rain, decimating the town and unleashing a wave of disease. In the face of this catastrophic turmoil, Dr. Safti is torn between his duty to treat the ailing and his consuming love for Edwina, now herself on the brink of death. The Rains of Ranchipur is a riveting tale of love, duty, and survival against all odds, set in a world where tradition clashes with desire, and where the devastating power of nature threatens to obliterate everything that stands in its way.

The Rains of Ranchipur is an action movie featuring Lana Turner and directed by Jean Negulesco.
