...rich, unstable matron, Barbara finds ample cause for panic. She dreams pleasant dreams about an ardent young man, but wakes to a nightmare life with an insanely jealous husband who has no eyeballs, like Orphan Annie. His blindness encourages him to visualize elaborate hanky-panky between his wife and his attorney, Robert Taylor. When Husband Howard disappears in a fiery explosion, Barbara grows restive. Howard's cane begins tap-tapping around the house at midnight. She moves into the apartment behind a beauty parlor she owns, clearly preferring the mud-packed monstrosities that sit out front...
Most of Rain's inaction takes place smack-dab in Columbus, Texas, where Georgette (Lee Remick) toils as a carhop at the Magnolia Drive-in.
