PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Henry Thomas (STEVE MCQUEEN), a singer and guitarist in a rock band, is on parole for a violent crime. Henry’s wife, Georgette (LEE REMICK), and daughter, Margaret Rose (KIMBERLY BLOCK), travel to Texas to be with him as he attempts to repair his relationships and put his life back together. Henry’s\u00a0overbearing foster mother, Kate Dawson, doesn’t approve of Henry’s musical aspirations and uses the terms of his parole to force him to comply with her wishes.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Twilight Time releases Baby the Rain Must Fall<\/em><\/strong> is shown in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. The distributor likely received the transfer through the right\u2019s holder, Sony, but I will say this does look brilliant. The black and white presentation shows off good shadows, blacks themselves appear stark without being crushed and whites weren\u2019t blaring or washed out. The natural film grain has been left intact aiding to the sharp detail.<\/p>\n

The movie comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which does output through the center channel clear dialogue levels; this is an all around clean lossless track with no real apparent hissing or pops.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Steve McQueen is probably my favorite \u2018old school\u2019 Hollywood superstars and while I don\u2019t think Baby the Rain Must Fall<\/em><\/strong> is one of his better movies but he does deliver a brilliant performance. The Blu-ray release from Twilight Time has impressive video and audio transfers but sadly nothing in the way of substantive features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
