...welcomed by the College with open arms. But that this course heralds a return of religion to any part of its former importance in education is not likely. True, President Eliot's theory of specialization seems to have passed its zenith, but even though broader fields of concentration may come in the near future, there is no sign that theology will rank among them. Social and intellectual forces have decreed otherwise...
Poor little Orphan Connie (Deanna Durbin) is endowed with nothing in this world but a lyrical larynx and a gruff, rich uncle, who has supported her through the hardships of a swank finishing school. She is disappointed when he does not come to her graduation, but climbs bravely into the limousine he sends in loco parentis. She needs all her courage when it deposits her among his screwy family.

But unlike "The Hurricane" it was a bit wet from the critical point of view, too. A cast headed by Myrna Loy and Tyrone Power has a right to expect a decent script with which to work. But 20th Century Fox let them down with the script of "The Rains Came." For instance: Brent to Loy, "It's exciting seeing you again." Loy to Brent...
