I was aware that <i>The Rains Came</i> had been nominated in a number of categories and that it won for Special Effects - though I wish the special effects of the earthquake and flood had not been somewhat obscured by the fake streaks of rain. <br /><br />1939 was quite a year for films, and it says a lot for Tyrone Power's draw that he ranked higher than Gable. As for <i>Jesse James</i> - I love that film. <br /><br />We could use another film year like 1939!Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-23052410172952034652010-02-15T18:51:37.643-05:002010-02-15T18:51:37.643-05:00Thank you so much for writing about The Rains Came...Thank you so much for writing about The Rains Came, one of my favorite films.<br /><br />As a point of interest, this film beat out Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz for a Special Effects Oscar. One of its stars, Tyrone Power, placed higher than Gable in the top ten box office for 1939. Power's film, Jesse James, was #4 at the box office that year.Mrs. Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807583127134067079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-34148099508185129202010-02-15T12:42:41.064-05:002010-02-15T12:42:41.064-05:00One of my favorite films.
