Baby the Rain Must Fall
Baby the Rain Must Fall is a 1965 American drama film directed by Robert Mulligan and starring Lee Remick, Steve McQueen and Don Murray. Dramatist Horton Foote, who wrote the screenplay, based it on his 1954 play The Traveling Lady. This is Glen Campbell's film debut, in an uncredited role.
Plot
Georgette Thomas and her six-year-old daughter, Margaret Rose, travel from the East Texas town of Tyler to (unknown to him) meet her husband Henry Thomas in his small southeastern Texas hometown of Columbus. Henry is a somewhat irresponsible rockabilly singer-guitarist who has recently been released from prison after serving time for stabbing a man during a drunken brawl, and wasn't thinking of Georgette at all.
